    It's the circle icon at the bottom or top of the screen, depending on your phone or tablet. [1]

    This opens a screen that lets you compose a text-based status update.
    • If you'd rather type a status onto an image, you can tap the camera icon instead, and then select or capture an image.

    It's at the top of the screen. This changes the sample text to a different font. You can keep tapping the T until you see the font you want to use.
    • If you're typing a status onto an image, start typing your status, and then tap the T repeatedly until you find the font you want to use.

    While you can't change the font color to anything other than white, you can select a different background color for contrast. Just keep tapping the palette icon until you see the color you want.

    You can also change the font after typing some or all of your status by tapping the T at the top again.

    It's at the bottom-right corner. Your status is now visible for 24 hours.
