Keeping Your Instagram Safe & Secure

Keep your Instagram Safe and Secure

We understand the importance of keeping your Instagram account safe and secure. We are committed to fostering a safe and supportive community for all clients, and we want to share some valuable information on Instagram security, safety, and privacy measures with you.

One of the easiest things you can do to protect your account is to ensure that you have a strong password and enable two-factor authentication. These are basic security measures that can go a long way in safeguarding your account from unauthorized access.

In addition to these ongoing safety tools, we are excited to highlight some new features that Instagram has introduced to help keep your account safe and provide support if you lose access to your account.

If you experience any access issues or suspect that your account has been hacked, Instagram has introduced a new comprehensive destination called Instagram.com/hacked. You can access this feature from your mobile phone or desktop browser, and it provides you with step-by-step instructions to report and resolve account access issues. You can select options such as "hacked account," "forgot password," "lost access to two-factor authentication," or "disabled account" to get the appropriate support for your situation. If you have multiple accounts associated with your information, you can choose which account needs support.

We understand that losing access to your Instagram account can be stressful.

To provide additional support, Instagram has introduced a feature that allows you to ask your friends to confirm your identity in order to regain access to your account. If you find yourself locked out of your account, you can choose two of your Instagram friends to verify your identity and help you get back into your account.

To further prevent hacking on Instagram, Instagram has implemented measures to remove accounts that are found to be malicious by their automated systems, including those that impersonate others, which goes against their Community Guidelines. Instagram is also testing sending warnings if an account that may be impersonating someone requests to follow you. In the coming months, they will also send warnings if an account that may be impersonating a business sends you a Direct Message (DM). This is aimed at alerting users to potential impersonation attempts and providing an additional layer of security.

Finally, Instagram has expanded the visibility of the blue verified badge for verified accounts. In addition to Profiles, you can now see verified blue badges in Stories and DMs, and soon, in your Feed. This makes it easier for you to determine the authenticity of the accounts you interact with on Instagram.
