Even after tapping the screen?
In the bottom left hand corner?
(FYI...I view Instagram on both iPhone & iPad)

@sidsmom On IPad, when I tap on screen I have the usual ❤️ & “home”, etc. Nothing indicating sound in left hand corner. May have to ask geek dh when he’s finished at office today.

@Shanus

Sorry to keep coming back to this...but I feel you’re >this< close.

When you ‘double-tap’ the middle of the screen, it will ❤️ the post.

If the video has sound, the microphone in the lower-left hand corner

will come up. It will show muted but tapping the microphone will

release the mute & you should hear the video.

Are you notified when and who starts following you on instagram?

yes, you are notified when someone follows you or when someone likes one of your posts.

No one can follow you unless you allow them to on Instagram - ETA: if you set account to Private. They have to request to be your follower and you have to approve.

Approval is only when you have your account set to Private.

I’m not on Facebook and am noticing “follow on Instagram”. Can anyone teach me, non-techie, how do I sign up or sign on, what is the purpose of “accounts”, not sure I’d “follow” people, just want to see what this is and if it’s something I’d like.

Thanks, Ladies.

It’s fun

I follow all kinds of people and things that I like golf and fashion and QVC people or knitting

Many women in our age posting all the time on what they’re wearing

It’s really a lot of fun I have my page set to private only because I get all these creepy dudes wanting to follow me and it cuts down on the spam. Which is funny because I never show my face

but you can report anything that you don’t like

try it out you’ll like it. And you can keep up with whatever is new and coming down the pike

David dangle has a great Instagram because he post stuff about Joan Rivers and his cute dog and his gorgeous house

I enjoy Instagram but not all the ads. I rarely post anything myself but enjoy following a few people and some pets. If someone follows me that i’m not comfortable with, I block them.
