It is very important to ask someones permission before posting certain pictures on social media. Be mindful to ask them politely if you could post the photo.
Examples;
- Would it be okay if I posted this picture on social media?
Can I take a photo to post on my social media/instagram please?
if you would like to ask someone for permission to take a picture of something to post on social media, you can say something like "Is it okay if I take a picture to use for my social media?". By asking someone for permission this shows a sign of respect and is a very polite thing to do if what you are photographing is not yours.
I'd like to take a photo to post on social media, is that ok?
Is it OK with you if I take a photo? It's for social media.
Would you mind if I took a photo? It's for social media.
I'd like to take a photo to post on social media, is that OK? - "I'd like..." (a contraction of "I would like...") is a way of politely asking for something. For example in a shop you could also ask for something in this way: "I would like four bread rolls please, and a piece of that cake"
Is it OK with you if I take a photo? It's for social media. - "Is it OK with you..." is a way of checking permission with somebody. For another example: "Is it OK with you if I open the window?"
Would you mind if I took a photo? It's for social media. - "Would you mind if..." is another polite way to check permission.
1. Mind if I take a pic to post on Instagram?
Instead of saying "Do you mind..."?" native speakers normally
shorten this by simply saying, "Mind if...
This phrase means that you are actually asking the person
permission or approval before doing something.
Example:
- Mind if I use your bathroom?
- Mind if I borrow your car for 20 minutes?
2. Would it be ok if I upload this onto Instagram?
''Upload" and "post" have similar meanings if you are referring to
social media. The phrase, ''would it be ok'' is also a means of
asking permission or approval before doing something.
We use the word "post" when we want to upload pictures online on the internet. When you still would like to take the photo and ask permission. then you could say "May I take a photo and post it on Instagram?".
If you have already taken the photo, then you could say "Would you mind if I post this online?" We say "would you mind" when we want to ask how someone would feel about a certain situation. Hope this helps!
Is it okay if I post this photo on my social media?
Can I take a photo for Instagram?
Asking someone if they mind is a polite way of asking for permission.
Example sentences:
Do you mind if I sit here? / Can I sit here?
Do you mind if I take a photo of you?/ Can I take a photo of you?
You can be specific and say 'Instagram' or simply just say social media which covers all social media platforms. (Facebook, Instagram etc..)
May I take your photo? I'd like to post it on my social media account/page, would that be ok?
Is it OK to take your photo and post it on my Instagram/Facebook?
Would you mind if I took your photo and put it on my FB/Instagram?
Asking for consent or permission before taking a photo of someone and posting it on social media is very important.
We ask for consent/permission by using expressions such as:
'May I', 'Is it OK/alright if...' and 'Would you mind if...' or 'Would it be alright with you if...'
so asking the question politely in the following ways:
- May I take your photo? I'd like to post it on my social media account/page, would that be ok?
- Is it OK to take your photo and post it on my Instagram/Facebook?
- Would you mind if I took your photo and put it on my FB/Instagram?
Do you mind if I take a picture, I want to post it on social media?
Here is an example of this sentence being used in context: I haven't posted anything on social media in such a long time, this scenery is nice, do you mind if I take a picture, I want to post it on social media? Yeah sure!
