You are maybe worried about if you are keeping all your data safe in this app or not. Here are some tips for you by which you can ensure that your Instagram account is safe from hackers.

Instagram is now owned by Facebook and Facebook has added a new feature in this app for security purposes. The new feature is called Security Checkup. This feature can be your saviour if your Instagram account gets hacked. With this feature, you can review your login activity and profile information. If your account gets hacked you can even update account recoveries contact information such as phone number or email.

You can also enable another feature named two-factor authentication. This feature will make sure that if someone is trying to log in to your account they cannot do so without an OTP or One-Time Password to log in to your account. You chose how you want to receive this OTP. You can have it in your simple text message or you can either get them on your WhatsApp app.

There is another extension of the two-factor authentication feature. Whenever someone will try to log in to your account from a new device or web browser, you will get an alert. This alert will let you know which device tried logging in and from where it has tried to log in. You will be controlling which device will be approved and which will be denied. This will help to find out if some hacker is trying to hack your account and you can prevent that.
