Change your account's appearance with feed apps

Instagram is based on photos and graphics. That's why you should prepare them properly and pay special attention to their aesthetics. A cohesive feed will attract attention and increase your follower count. 😍 When planning your feed, pay attention to:

1. Thoughtful and carefully executed photos: ensure their diversity and different frames. You can hire a professional to take the photos or do them yourself with your smartphone. Take a look at our ranking of phones with the best cameras. You might also find advice on "how to take good photos with a smartphone" useful.
2. The dominant color of your posts: this mainly concerns editing and applied filters. Opt for one color scheme to make your feed cohesive.
3. The appearance of the photo grid: when you visit your profile, your followers will see this grid. Ensure an interesting photo layout, e.g., alternate graphics and photos. An interesting grid appearance will effectively draw attention to your feed.
