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.

How do I delete videos on Instagram?

Sometimes you change your opinion about one of your Instagram videos and decide to delete it. It’s possible to delete videos on Instagram, and it’s the same as deleting a photo.

Within the Instagram app on your phone or tablet, you are allowed to delete only one video at a time. Follow these steps to delete any of your unwanted Instagram videos:

  • Open Instagram on your phone/tablet.
  • Log in to your Instagram account.
  • Tap your profile icon in the lower-left corner.
  • Search for the video you wish to remove (Try the grid format to better see your videos).
  • Open the video you want to delete and tap it.
  • Tap ‘Options’ (…) in the upper-right corner.
  • Tap ‘Delete’ and then confirm your decision.

For now, Instagram, unfortunately, doesn’t give a possibility to delete several videos on Instagram at one time.
