Profile Privacy Tips on Instagram

This isn’t really a “trick” or setting so much as it is a piece of general advice.

There’s a very good chance you have too much information on your Instagram profile. While the social media age sees people share more information than ever, it’s not always wise to share as much as you might be sharing.

For instance, how easy would it be for someone to find your house from your Instagram profile? Are you constantly tagging your location near your home? What about the location of your job?

The fact of the matter is that online stalking can become real-life stalking very easily. If you want to greatly reduce the chances of someone finding you IRL, be very careful about how much information you share about common locations. Generally speaking, watch your tags, watch how many photos you share, and be careful of how much personal information you reveal.

How to Find Trending or Popular Instagram Hashtags Using Keyword Tool?

Depending on your requirements, you can use Keyword Tool to generate a list of popular and trending long-tail Instagram hashtags.

To use Keyword Tool for Instagram hashtags, just enter a word related to the topic of your post into the search box and press enter. Within seconds, you will see a list of hashtags that you can use for your posts or stories.

You can enter different related words or synonyms in the search box to make the tool generate more hashtag suggestions. Besides the hashtags suggestions, Keyword Tool will show you the number of posts that Instagram has for every hashtag.

If you want to find only popular or trending Instagram hashtags, you can use “Filter Results” from the drop-down menu to get Keyword Tool to show you hashtags that have a particular number of posts. By using filters, you can choose either the most or the least popular hashtags depending on your needs.

How to Facebook Sharing on Instagram

Facebook and Instagram are eternally linked. Not only is Instagram owned by Facebook, but sharing Instagram photos via Facebook is very common. However, recent revelations have left people wondering how much they should actually share via Facebook. Even before the Facebook data scandal, there were times when you just don’t want every Instagram photo to go on your Facebook page.

To be honest, there are many good reasons not to automatically link your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Keeping the two mutually exclusive allows you to have much greater control over your Instagram Privacy privacy. To keep your online profiles separate, just follow these steps.

  1. Open Instagram and go to your profile.
  2. Select “Settings.”
  3. Go to “Linked Accounts” and disable the Facebook option.

You can also disable Instagram like sharing through Facebook. To do so, just go to “Share Settings,” choose Facebook, and disable “Share Likes to Timeline.”

How to Manual Tag Approval on Instagram

Here’s an interesting feature. As you probably know, people can tag you on Instagram. As you probably also know, there are times when you don’t want to be tagged on Instagram. Embarrassing photos are one thing, but there are even times when a picture can violate your Instagram privacy in a real way.

You can ask the person to remove the photo, but you can also just untag yourself from the picture. It’s a useful way to decrease the chances of someone finding it just by using your name. Whatever your reason, untagging yourself is incredibly simple.

  1. Find the photo in question.
  2. Tap on your profile name in the tag.
  3. You should be able to select “Hide From My Profile.”

It’s also possible to choose “Remove Me From Photo” to remove the tag completely. You can also choose the “Photos of You” section, choose settings, and “Add Manually.” This will prevent others from tagging you themselves.

How to User Block on Instagram

Blocking people is one of the most useful Instagram privacy features. Keeping someone out of your profile for whatever reason is pretty easy to do. Better yet, there are a few ways to do it:

Block Someone on Instagram

  1. Tap the username of who you want to block.
  2. Tap the settings button
  3. Choose “Block.”

If you don’t want to completely block someone, you can also just keep them from commenting on your photos:

Block Photo Comments:

  1. Open your profile
  2. Tap on the settings button.
  3. Tap “Comment Controls”
  4. You should see a “People” option next to “Block Comments From.”
  5. Enter the name of the person you want to block and select “Block.”

If you want to go even further and report someone for a message or comment, do the following:

Report a Comment/Message

  1. Open the conversation
  2. Tap the message/comment in question
  3. Tap the “Report” option.

How to Hide Location on Instagram

One of the primary functions of Instagram is the ability to easily tag photos. These tags can identify friends, make sharing pictures easier, and, of course, identify locations. Obviously, you need to make sure that Instagram is able to find your location for that last feature to work. That means enabling location sharing on your iPhone.

As you might know, location sharing can be a major security concern. While the extent of your vulnerability is up for debate, there are times when you just don’t want to run the risk. If you’re experiencing one of those times, then here’s how you disable your location on Instagram.

  1. Open your iPhone (or device) settings.
  2. Navigate to “Privacy” and choose “Location Services.”
  3. Tap on the Instagram app.
  4. Choose either “Never” or “While Using Your App” based on your preference.

Again, this will remove some Instagram features, so make sure you know what you’re missing out on.

How to Hide Profiles From Search on Instagram

When it comes to hiding/removing search history, Instagram is pretty generous. Perhaps realizing that people would want to keep their history clean, they loaded the app with plenty of options.

One of those options lets you hide specific profiles from your search. This feature has a few uses. For instance, you might not want people to know you are clearing your history. This function also lets you permanently hide a profile. That means that it will never appear in your search history. That makes it so you don’t have to constantly clear your history.

If you want to hide a profile from your searches, just follow these steps:

  1. Tap the search option at the top of your app.
  2. Tap “Top” or “People”
  3. Find the profile you want to hide and hold your finger on it.
  4. Tap the hide option.

This should forever hide the profile in question from your searches.

How to Delete Search History

Let’s be honest. From time to time, everyone searches for a profile they don’t want others to know about. We’re not going to pry into your business…we just know it happens. Whether it’s sexy picture or the ex you can’t get over, everyone has that Instagram profile they’re ashamed of. Still, a lot of people are awful when it comes to clearing their profile. What’s strange about that is that clearing your search history couldn’t be easier to do. Just follow these steps:

  1. Open your Instagram settings.
  2. Scroll down to “Clear Search History.”
  3. Confirm the deletion on the screen that appears.

That should clear out your Instagram search history. We say “should” because there are times when a profile will still pop up in your search history even after you’ve cleared it. For those times, you’ll need to check out the next entry…

How to Make Your Pictures Private on Instagram

By default, all your photos and videos are public on Instagram. Instead of blocking potential clients on Instagram to prevent them from viewing your personal photos, you can change the visibility settings of your profile. Once you make the change, only approved followers can see your private photos and videos. Furthermore, people who want to view your photos must send you a follow request; you can allow or deny that request. Follow requests are displayed in the News Feed section of your profile.

Change Instagram Visibility to Private

Navigate to your Instagram profile by tapping the “Profile” icon after you log in to your Instagram account. Tap “Edit Your Profile” to enter profile editing mode. The “Edit Your Profile” option is located next to your profile picture. On iOS devices, toggle the “Posts Are Private” switch to the “On” position. If you are using a Windows or Android smartphone, check the “Posts are Private” box. The new settings are applied immediately.
