Is Instagram only for our own original stuff??

I never had Instagram before and suddenly a friend recommended me to use it in relation to something that I might be interested doing.

So guide a bit here on Instagram because:

- I thought of posting interesting stuff I found online, but it seems like we can only post our own original stuff...really?

- Do we need the Instagram App on smartphone to post like photos?

You can post things you find on the internet. But if it's like artworks, or videos definitely credit the people who made it. Otherwise it's just shady.

@SeductiveCactus credit them as in the hashtag, or mention exactly where I got it from (the link, website)?

@Greenmantree44 not hashtag. But definitely tag their insta if you got it from there. And just mention the website maybe if it's from somewhere random. As long as people who see you're things knows who made it. A lot of people unfortunately try and steal art without crediting. So people think it's theirs.

Ok cool, because I have an idea of maybe a popular phrase or quote or something which I want to use (for starters)...but take a photo outside and maybe add the quote as a caption. Then mention about it when posting it or hashtag it.
I mean I could try it if it works. I haven't posted anything yet because I don't want to be like that (no crediting the source). Maybe the picture is mine but the caption/quote is not.

You don’t just have to use your own. I mean you can use other pictures, just probably make sure you credit anything you use that’s not yours.

And to upload photos, you will need the app
One of the most annoying things to it is the need for the app to be able to post.
