Steepshot is another social media platform rewarding for contents, that works on the top of steem blockchain.

Platform that rewards people sharing their lifestyle and visual experience

We can take it as an Instagram version of social platform based on steem blockchain.
You can access it through web or Mobile phone(both android and ios). But I prefer it using on the smartphone to make a habit instead of Instagram.
In this Tutorial, I am showing how we can download and use steepshot on Android phone.

I have divided the procedure into 5 steps.

1. Download steepshot
2. Open On your Phone.
3. Log In
4. Make a Post

Click on Login Bottom.

Select steem as your login method from the top bar(two options, golo and steem)

Now you will see a field to enter your username. Enter your steemit username here as I did in the figure above.
And hit that next step bottom.

Enter password /password key for your steemit account.

Hitting Next Step bottom will take you to another step where you have to enter your posting key as a password for steepshot.

As a password, you have to enter your steemit account's private posting key.
You can find your posting key under your wallet->permission.It's hard to type such a long password manually on your phone so the better idea is to use QR code available on your steemit account.So tap on Scan Private Posting Key bottom on your screen.

Find your Private Posting Key.

Log in to your steemit account. Go to your profile->wallet->persimmion.
You can see your posting key there as in the figure below.

Click on Show Private key bottom on the left side as shown in the figure below.

It will show you the private posting key for your steemit account.
Now Click On that QR code sign of private posting key and it will show your the QR code as below.

Scan that QR code with your phone(from where you left your mobile app before)

(Please note that this is not the exact posting code of mine, it's just a random code taken for demo purpose.)
Face your phone camera to the QR code it will scan and get your private posting code automatically.

**Tap on that Log In bottom.
Congratulations!! you have successfully logged in to your steepshot account. It will now take you to your steepshot feed.

Step 4: Make your first post via steepshot.

You can give your post a title by tapping the field under Add Title. I have highlighted this field here with red box written inside Write your post title here....
