Instagram Privacy Settings



(i) Set Instagram account to private so that only approved followers can see your posts

Keep in mind that business profiles aren't able to make their accounts private. If you

want to make your business account private, first switch back to a personal account.

By default, anyone can see your profile and posts on Instagram. You can make your

account private so that only followers you approve can see what you share. If your

account is set to private, only your approved followers will see your photos or videos

on hashtag or location pages.

1. Go to your profile and tap

33




2. Select “Settings”, then select “Privacy”

34




3. Select “Account privacy”, then enable “Private account”

(ii) Things to keep in mind about private accounts

Private posts you share to social networks may be visible to the public depending on

your privacy settings for those networks. For example, a post you share to Twitter that

was set to private on Instagram may be visible to the people who can see your Twitter

posts.

Once you make your account private, people will have to send you a follow request

to see your posts, your followers list or your following list.

Follow requests appear in Activity, where you can approve or ignore them.

If someone was already following you before you set your posts to private and you

don't want them to see your posts, you can block them.

People can send a photo or video directly to you even if they’re not following you.

35




(iii) Who can like or comment on your photos and videos on Instagram

If your account is public, anyone can like or comment on your photos and videos. If

you want to prevent specific people from liking or commenting on your posts, you

can block them.

If your account is private, only the people you've approved as followers will be able to

like or comment on your photos and videos.

(iv) Temporarily disable your Instagram account

If you temporarily disable your account, your profile, photos, comments and likes will

be hidden until you reactivate it by logging back in. To temporarily disable your

account:-

1. Log into instagram.com from a mobile browser or computer. You can't

temporarily disable your account from within the Instagram app.

2. Tap or click in the top right and then select Edit Profile.

3. Scroll down, then tap or click Temporarily disable my account in the bottom right.

4. Select an option from the drop-down menu next to Why are you disabling your

account? and re-enter your password. The option to disable your account will only

appear after you've selected a reason from the menu.
