What Is a Private Instagram Account?<\/h2>\n

Making you Instagram private means that your account will only show your name and basic information when people search for you.<\/p>\n

Anyone that wants to see your content will have to request to follow you, but don\u2019t worry, all your previous followers will still be able to see your posts even if you go private.<\/p>\n

There are a number of reasons why you may wish to go private, for example, if you are a brand and you want to offer exclusivity to your followers.<\/p>\n

Many people also go private to\u00a0attract followers<\/a>, as the private label can often lure people in, resulting in more followers.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the quick guide, and if you scroll you will find each step accompanied by pictures:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to your profile and tap the hamburger on the top right<\/li>\n
  2. Then tap Settings<\/li>\n
  3. Then tap Privacy<\/li>\n
  4. Then tap Account Privacy<\/li>\n
  5. Tap the Private Account button<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You will then be prompted to review your followers if you want to.<\/p>\n

    You can change between private and public as often as you want by repeating these steps.<\/p>\n
