Open Instagram on your phone or tablet. It's the pink, purple, and orange camera icon on your home screen or in your app drawer.
Tap the profile icon. It's the person icon at the bottom-right corner. This opens your own profile.- If the person you want to receive notifications from has a photo or video post that already appears in your feed, you can also tap the three dots at the top-right corner of the post and select Turn on Post Notifications. But that only works for regular photo and video posts; you won't be able to set up notifications for stories, lives, or IGTV that way. Read on to learn how to set up all types of Instagram posting notifications.
