Instagram is a mobile app that allows users to share and interact with each others’ pictures and videos.
Important: You can only access Instagram privacy settings from your mobile device.
Click on the profile icon on the top right side of the navigation bar. Then click the gear icon on the top right corner of your screen to access account settings.
Under Privacy, you will see the option to make your profile private. Make sure this button is turned on (blue). Once activated, your pictures and videos will be hidden from non-followers and won’t display in public search results.
You will also now be able to accept or deny follower requests.
Your username, bio and website link will remain public regardless of your settings. Make sure these pieces of information aren’t overly sensitive by editing them. Click on the profile icon on the far right side of the bottom navigation bar. Then select Edit Profile beneath your follower and post count.
Click Done to save your changes.
