Instagram allows you to share moments with your friends, family and loved ones. However, everyone can access the content on your Instagram very easily.
To avoid unwanted people from accessing your content on Instagram, it’s a good idea to change your Instagram account settings to private.
Here we will share how to make your Instagram account or profile private.
- Click on your profile icon in the lower right corner of the app
- Tap the menu button on the top right corner of the app
- Tap Settings or Settings
- Choose Privacy
- There will be an option to make the account private, activate the Private Account toggle
Now your Instagram profile has been set to private, which means that while you are still searchable on Instagram.
But people who find your profile and are not friends must send a request to follow your account. In addition, they also can not see the contents of the content in your profile.
This also allows you to choose to allow or disallow the friend request. Depends on whether you know the person or not.
