Farewell, Instagram: Steepshot for iOS Guide - How to Install Steepshot, Create/Connect an Account, and Get Paid for Sharing Your Photos With the World!

When you first open the app, you will see this screen:

When you click on the "Sign in" button, you will be taken to this screen:

Before you can actually push either of those buttons to move to the next screen, you will have to make sure that the slider at the bottom is activated:

If you don't have an account on the Steem blockchain yet, you will have to click on the "Create new account" button, which will take you out of the app and into your browser to create an account through the Steemit website. If you are a personal friend of mine, and you don't feel like waiting for your account to be created, send me a message and I can personally help you get an account created in just minutes. The normal account creation process through the Steemit website could take anywhere from two days to several weeks.

After you enter your username and hit Continue, you will need to enter your email address so that you can be notified when your account has been created.

Next, you will have to enter your phone number. I believe this is done to verify that you are a real human being and not a bot, but don't quote me on that, lol.

After hitting Continue, you should get a text message with a code to enter on the next screen.

After you enter the code and hit Continue, your account will be in the account creation queue, which, as I mentioned above, could take up to a few weeks to push through (but most people get approved within days).

Once you have a Steemit account created, you can go back into the @Steepshot app and link your account to the app. Click on the "Sign in with Steem" button to get started.

Enter your account name and hit the "Next step" button.

For the next step, you will need the Private Posting Key for your Steemit account. You can find this by going to your Wallet on the Steemit website, clicking on the Permissions tab, and pressing the "Show Private Key" button.

Copy that string of characters, paste it into the Steepshot app, and hit the "Sign in" button. Alternatively, you could also scan the QR code, if that's easier for you (and if you are viewing the Steemit website from a desktop computer).

That's it, you're in! The first screen you see is your "Home Feed," which will show posts from people you follow.

If you click on the Globe icon next to the Home icon, you will see posts from other people on Steepshot. "Hot" will be populated with posts that have gained a lot of upvotes or funds in a relatively short time, "New" will be populated with all the newest posts, and "Top" will be populated with the posts that are earning the most at that moment.

To post pictures on the app, you will have to click on the Camera icon at the bottom. The very first time you do this, you will have to grant permission for the @Steepshot app to access your camera and photos.

Once you take or select a photo to post, you will have to enter a Title, Description, and Tags for your post. You can add a maximum of 20 tags per post.

Once you hit that "Publish Photo" button, you will be taken to your Profile.

You can adjust the view style of your profile, from the default single photo stream view, to the grid view, by hitting the two-bar icon in the upper right-hand corner.
