Instagram is a social network centrada en los dispositivos móviles, algo raro para muchos de nosotros que estamos acostumbrados a usar el PC para todo. En sus primeras versiones no permitía crear una cuenta mediante un PC.
Despite everything, it already makes it possible to register both from its application for mobile device or tablet and from a PC.
Here below you have all the information you need:
How to register on Instagram?
When you enter the social network of the photographs You have two options to register on Instagram.

Changes to the new registration procedure
Instagram has realized that the same person manages several accounts, at the same time that it has seen that there are a large number of emails created just to create an account on its social network. Clearly, this trend was not entirely effective, therefore they have decided to pivot and allow the same user to create several accounts.
It is essential to be clear about the different roles that the same person can take on Instagram.
- Username or, that is, it is the name that we will use to identify the user; must be unique.
- Name: corresponds to the name of the account, you can put what you want.
- New! Login name: now, when you log in, you can do it through a phone, an email or also from the Username.

If you don't have a profile on Facebook, or you basically don't want to have the accounts linked, you can register on Instagram by filling out the form:

The red cross indicates that the field is incorrect. If it is the email, it is because that email is already in use. If it appears next to the username or username, it means that someone else has already selected it and, in this way, it is not free.
When you see that all the fields are validated, click on Register on Instagram. In my case it appears in English, I don't know why ... Well, it's the blue button that says Sing up.
Account created
When you have the account created, Instagram will show a screen for you to add the profile photo. If you have chosen to create an Instagram account with Facebook, you will see the Facebook profile image.

The next option (only available to create an account through the form), is to link the account with Facebook.
Tachán! And so the procedure of creating an account ends. Then Instagram shows you several celebrity accounts so you can start following other accounts and get followers.
