JAKARTA - When creating a social media account; Instagram for example, you should already know that anything you post there will be widely accessible, even to people you may not know.
However, almost many social media platforms now have the option to make your account more private, such as Twitter, Facebook, and others.
On Instagram, you can switch your public account to private very easily. Check out the following tutorial for more details.
How to Switch Your Public Instagram to Private
When you create an Instagram account, it is public by default. Changing a public account to a private one doesn't have much of an impact on your profile except for accessibility to accounts that aren't on your list of followers.
- Follow these steps if you have decided to make your public Instagram account private:
- Open Instagram and tap on the Profile icon in the lower right corner of your screen
- Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner of your profile to open the menu
- From there, select Settings
- Scroll until you see Privacy
- Under the Account Privacy section, enable the Private Account tab to enable it
Once your account is private, please be aware that you will see a Follow Requests section in your Notifications.
