Instagram, Facebook and other social media apps are the easiest way for people to stay connected with friends and loved ones along with entertainment and time pass, but the biggest challenge with it is data security and safety. In this article, we will cover how you can change few settings on Instagram and keep yourself safe.
Make your account private
By converting your Instagram account to a private account, you can control who can see your posts and who cannot. Through a private account, you can remove any followers without blocking them. In case of a private account, no anonymous user can see your photos, videos or reels unless you approve their request. Along with this, you can turn off ‘Show Activity Status’, and this will not let any of your friends know that you are online.
Two Factor Authentication
Through two-factor authentication, you can increase the security level in your account. Due to this feature, when you log in to your profile through an anonymous device, you need an SMS security code. If you have activated two-factor authentication, you will have to provide a unique log-in code or confirm login attempts every time you log in. This will let you know when a login attempt is made from an unknown device.

Share your story with close friends
You can create a list of close friends on Instagram and share your story with only them. You can remove any of these friends or add new friends. The best part is that no notification will be sent to the concerned user while doing this.
Comment filters
The good thing for Instagram users is that it gives them the control to decide which comments are offensive or bullying. The app has several built-in features that automatically remove offensive words and offensive phrases as well as bullying comments. If you want, you can make a list of words and emojis that you do not want to see in your comment section. For this, you have to use ‘Filters’ in the comment control section of the post.
