How to act on Instagram in specific situations?
Learn Instagram’s unwritten rules.
When someone features my picture on Instagram, what is the proper etiquette?
The next time someone reposts your picture, thank them! They are shouting you out and featuring you, so it’s like a gift.
If someone posts your photo on their feed, you should always keep an eye on the post and follow up multiple times. A lot of the comments on this post will be directed towards you, so do not take this personally.
Most importantly, you should try to answer the questions (if there are any) to build a relationship basis with your potential followers.
What should I do if someone uses my picture without permission or doesn’t give me the credit?
Then you should direct message them and explain it’s your property and ask them kindly to remove the post. Mistakes happen. Most people on Instagram don’t know proper Instagram etiquette and the person is often not being malicious on purpose.
Stay polite, and be aware that you have your rights, too. If no action is taken, you can report the abuse of your pictures.
Having a negative attitude
While we’re on the topic of Instagram etiquette, this is something that we can’t skip. Negativity has no place in our world.
Let kindness always prevail — I know none of you would need me to remind you. In life and on Instagram, always say positive things. There is simply no room for negativity!
Another piece of advice is to block and report anything that is rude or unkind. In the real world, people who use Instagram to seek attention will have to do their part in reporting people who are unkind and/or inappropriate to others.
Use a Trusted Third-Party Posting App
Until recently, Instagram allowed third-party apps to post directly to Instagram, but now it’s open-source.
However, you can now schedule, queue, and publish directly on your Instagram business profile as you can now do with an official Instagram partner like Agorapulse.
Instagram’s terms and conditions still have some strong restrictions, though you can now directly publish to business profiles using these steps.
Keep your Instagram profile safe with a certified Instagram partner.
In other words, you do not want to get banned from Instagram for using a forbidden partner. It is much better to select a trusted certified Instagram partner while implementing a picture-perfect Instagram strategy.
