Instagram has become the most used social media platform today. People share their photos, videos, reels and personal information here. In such a situation, if your account gets hacked, the hacker can access your personal details. Therefore, it is very important to keep it safe.
Why is Instagram an easy target for hackers?
In the digital age where even bank accounts are at risk, hacking social media accounts has become even easier for hackers. The special thing is that most people keep their Instagram linked to mobile contacts. This gives Instagram information about your contacts – and if hackers get access to the account, they can misuse these personal details.
What to do to keep Instagram safe?
You can make your Insta account more secure with some simple settings:
Step-by-step guide:
Open the Instagram app and go to the profile icon (bottom right).
Tap on the three lines (≡) or three dots appearing upwards.
Now click on “Account Center” option.
Then select “Your Information and Permissions” option.
Here you will find the option “Upload Contacts” — tap on it.
Now you will see “Connect Contacts”.
Turn the toggle in front of it off.
By turning this off, Instagram will not be able to access your phone’s contacts, which will keep your personal information more secure.
