Ways to Keep Your Instagram Account Safe

People nowadays are putting much of  their time to social media sites. You can choose from Facebook, Twitter or Instagram depending of  your needs. I’ve tried these social media sites and I think they’re really a big help to each and everyone. But then our focus for this topic is about Instagram and how to make your account safe. We share almost everything about our lives but then we have to be careful as there are people using what you post in the internet. That is why we have to be sure that our account is safe.

In Instagram and any social media, there is a portion wherein personal information needed to be shared. Be cautious in sharing like your phone number as even if it is marked as private, still you’re not sure if it is really private.

Sharing your location is also something you have to think of. As many people have been addicted to these sites they became incautious of what they are doing. Forgetting the importance of privacy. I had seen some events that transpired wherein sharing your location tends to robbery or stealing especially if you post of where are you at the present.

Consider your audiences. Sharing to different social media accounts by linking one account to another  can lead to new and numerous audiences which tends them to know more about your life.

Consider having your account private.  I don’t assure you that is really private though at least you will experience a little privacy. You can do this by going to your app, clicking the gear icon in the upper right and toggle the private option  and I think this can’t be use using the website, just use the app itself.
