Instagram is a fun way to explore your creative side while taking photos and sharing them with your friends.
In the same time, its a great platform to share your materials with unknown people who choose to follow you. Or you can be discovered via hashtags, if you use them and make your photos accessible to people from all around the world.
We take our social media knowledge for granted and, because of this, we usually have no fears on our security or privacy. We have a misguided sense of protection on the social networks, that we are in a safe place, only surrounded by friends, and nothing bad can happen to us.

However, if you dont want to expose yourself, well list below all the options you have to secure your Instagram account.
Before we get there, you should ask yourself a few simple questions:
Are you a public person? Do you want to work on your online branding?
If not, since your friends already know who you are, how relevant is it for you to use your real name?
And do you really need to expose your location, your work place or where you live?
For this reason, before you post a new photo on Instagram or let your children use this social media network, you should be aware of what security and privacy options are available and how you can use them in order to increase your online protection.

Keep Your Profile Photos Private
If you dont want your photos to be public and available to be seen by everyone, you can make your profile private.
To only share your photos with the users you choose, like your friends and family, follow these steps:
1. Go to your Instagram profile window.
2. Click on the three dots in the right corner.
3. At the bottom youll find the Private Account option. Make sure this security setting is ON. (The button should turn to Blue)
Activating this option means that only those who follow you can see your online photos.

I never have my accounts on private, on Instagram it's not so pointless but on Twitter for example, a private account is just pointless.
