Considering that for public figures, as well as influencers, an Instagram account is a tool for work , it is very important to take care of its security. Believe it or not, it's very easy to protect yourself and your Instagram account without losing anything at the same time.

Instagram has quickly become the most popular platform for sharing pictures with family, friends and the rest of the world. Because of its not-so-serious purpose, it often serves as a training ground for security flaws.

We'll walk you through five ways to keep your Instagram account secure. Note that the instructions vary depending on which operating system you are using. Don't worry, we at BuyIGFollowersMalaysia use both iOS and Android. All this with the aim of always being ready to help clients who find themselves in trouble.

1. Set your Instagram account to private

Unless you are engaged in public business or plan to use Instagram for professional purposes, it would be best to set your account to private. It is a very simple step, which will not limit you in sharing images, and again, your privacy will not be compromised by only selected ones being able to see them. 

On the phone:

• Access your profile by clicking on the "man" in the lower right corner of the screen. Swipe left and click Settings.
• Select “Privacy and Security” and then “Account Privacy.”
• Drag to “Private Account”.

On the web:

• Click on the “man” in the top right corner, then click on settings next to your name.
• Select “Privacy and Security” and then “Account Privacy.”
• Make sure you want a "Private Account".

From the moment you set it up, only your followers will be able to see your posts. Everyone else will have to send you a friend request, after accepting which they will be able to see your posts.

2. Block specific followers

If you suspect someone or someone is harassing you, be sure to block that follower and prevent them from viewing your posts any further. No worries, because the followers you block will not be notified that you have done so.

On the phone:

• Click “Followers” ​​at the very top of the main menu.
• Use the search to find the follower you want to block.
• If you're using iOS, click the three horizontal dots next to the name of the person you're blocking. If you are using Android, click on the three vertical dots. Select “Remove.”

On the web:

• Enter your list of followers by clicking on “Followers.”
• Use the search to find the follower you want to block.
• Click on that person's icon, then the three horizontal dots to the right of the name of the person you're blocking. Select “Block this user.”

3. Turn on two-factor authentication

Worried about someone breaking into your Instagram and reading your messages or stealing your account? Turn on two-factor authentication, which will allow an SMS message with a code to be sent every time a new device tries to log in to your account. After you get the code, you just need to enter it to log in.

On the phone:

• Go to “Settings” > “Privacy and Security” > “Two-Factor Authentication” > “Get Started.”
• Swipe to “Text Message.”
• If you prefer to use an authentication app, such as Google Authenticator, swipe to “Authentication App”. 

On the web:

• Click on the "man" and then the settings icon. 
• Click on “Privacy and Security” > “Edit Two-Factor Authentication Setting”
• Select “Text Message.”

4. Prevent access to external applications

Prevent access to other applications that you may have granted access to, such as scheduling applications and the like. Before you grant access to your data to any of the apps, think twice about giving your private information to a company, thereby reducing the security of your profile. For proflie growth you also get Facebook Likes with us.

Make sure that ONLY those applications that you really need have access to your account . In order to take away access to applications that they already have, it is necessary to access from the browser - so you cannot do it through the mobile application. #BuyFollowers #MalaysiaFollowers
