From what I have seen of it, it is a morphed version of Facebook, but geared towards uploading photos. I am beginning to think I'll drop FB, blogging is better, so Instagram just doesn't appeal to me. I guess you would have to decided if you would be happy with your child doing FB, and if so, then maybe you'd be OK with IG. Personally, I wouldn't be happy.Dashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415154217182640049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-38461661855473956002014-04-28T02:38:57.542+10:002014-04-28T02:38:57.542+10:00You have such a lovely smile!

I also have an account so I can see what they are posting and comments people leave, that was the conditions attached to being allowed to have the account.

It can be as private or public as you like. I love the use of #'s, makes it so easy to search and see a whole lot of a particular quilt or project that I want to see all in one screen from lots of different people. I don't see it as a replacement for blogging, it's just very brief and obviously 'instant'!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662924691039566761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-88695140134299922442014-04-26T22:36:09.526+10:002014-04-26T22:36:09.526+10:00Sounds like a perfect Easter!

Were you down her way or was she up your way? <br />Instagram, as with Facebook, can be set up so no one else can see your stuff except those you give permission to. Maybe she is asking for it because you won't let her have fb?? Lol. You know you can set up fb so your name doesn't even come up in a search? So only those you in it directly can find you. And you can block people...same with Instagram.

I don't use it that much (yet) but I share some snaps from our daily life every now and then. But I find that it is just as easy to post the pictures on my blog, seeing as I'm already on my phone.

There is an age of consent though which I think is 14. There is settings you can make private, but.......? It's really about how you want to parent and allow the kids use of technology that lets "Funny people" able to comment.<br /><br />I have children 18, 13 and 9 and the 18 year old looked at it, decided she couldn't be bothered as she saw it as a time waster and went back to study. The 13 knows my stance on Facebook (NO) so has just assumed no to Instagram. There are also other picture apps that allow the kids to chat etc, but they aren't any better.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328430940524209984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-2443652236309518062014-04-24T11:34:10.960+10:002014-04-24T11:34:10.960+10:00I don't "do" facebook... but recentl...I don't "do" facebook... but recently I joined in on instagram but have a private setting...so only "friends" can see my pic's.

It's more a photos share site not a chat site. You can send a DM (direct message) I recommend that you turn off the satalight /location option as ppl can click to see exactly where a photo is taken....... You home, child's bedroom etc! You can also block people who follow you. I knowi do look at everyone who follows me and if I'm not comfortable with them I block. You can also make your settings private so only thoses approved get to see your pics. As for kids, my boys use it (16 & 14) my daughter used to (11) but stopped. Think because she couldn't chat with her girlfriends on it. Hope this helps somewhat. Just remember, like all other social media you need to stay vigilant.
