YOGYAKARTA - Instagram is one of the most widely used social media platforms today. In the application developed by Meta, users can share daily activities in the form of photos and videos accompanied by captions.

Hence, there are a lot of personal things that users upload to their Instagram accounts. Even so, not all Instagram users want the content they upload to be watched by just anyone, but only for people they really know.

Users can also lock Instagram accounts, or make accounts private so that people who have your permission can access the content you upload.

This method can prevent misuse of the account by irresponsible people, or if someone uses your photo to create a fake account.

To lock an Instagram account is also very easy, if the user is still unable to do it, then you can follow the steps that have been compiled by the VOI team in the article below.

How to Make Private Mode on Instagram Account

To enable account private mode, users can update the Instagram app to the latest version using Google Play Store or App Store to get the latest look.

Next, open your Instagram application and log in using the Instagram account you have, then select the profile page in the lower right corner.

After that, go to the "Settings" or "Settings" menu. To make your account private, users can select the "privacy" menu, then click "account privacy".

In the "private account" option the user can slide the toggle icon on the right side of the menu until it turns blue, then you can select the "change to private" button.

Thus your Instagram account will turn into a private account. Therefore, only the people you allow can see the photos or videos you upload.

The use of private Instagram account mode can also make your privacy more secure because not everyone can see every upload you make on Instagram.

In addition, locking Instagram can also reduce spam on your Instagram, both in the form of uploads on the homepage and explorer menu, as well as the comments column.

Therefore, users can activate private mode on their Instagram accounts by following the steps above so that users are more secure and comfortable when using Instagram.
