Privacy is the biggest concern in today’s day and age. And we are a generation who displays their whole life on social media, privacy has been in question on a large scale. Therefore it is very necessary for us to make sure we keep our things private.
Hence the thing that comes handy is the Private Account feature of Instagram. The biggest stone on the pro-side of the scale for making your profile private is, naturally, privacy. This is especially important if you make use of the geo-tagging feature — which is marking a photo you’ve taken with a specific location — on your mobile phone.
With a public profile, someone could not only discover numerous details about your life, but also a pattern of where you are at various times. If you have children who use Instagram, it’s also a protection for them against online predators.
So here in this tutorial, we will help you out by showing you how in a few easy steps you can make your account private.
How to Make Your Instagram Account Private:
