Instagram is one of the most popular social networks at the moment, to the point that we are all concerned about keeping it as safe as possible. There are many hackers who try to take over many accounts for improper use. Now, can we keep ours safe? The answer is yes.
There is a way to know if someone else besides us is using our Instagram account. And although it seems impossible to us, another person could be logging in with our user without even us knowing it. In fact, it is possible that in recent weeks you have noticed more likes or follows than normal that you have not made, or even that you have seen photos published without your permission. In this case, be alert, it is possible that there is someone other than you accessing your account.
Find out if someone else accesses your Instagram account
To find out if you are not the only one using your account Instagram, you need to check the latest logins to your account. First of all, open your Instagram and go to your profile. To do this, click on the three horizontal stripes located in the upper right corner. You will see how a menu is displayed with different options. Click on Settings and within this section click on Security. Once inside you will come across different options again. Look at the one that says Login Activity. It is precisely here where you can control your account logins.
At the top you will find a map with the latest logins, and just below those places where you have logged in, so you can know if it was you or not. It is important that you keep in mind that depending on the configuration of your computer or the GPS of your mobile phone, it is possible that geolocation addresses are not entirely accurate, and another city appears to you through the WiFi data. That is why we advise you to also look at the devices from which the session was logged in or the dates when it was logged in.
Choose a strong password
And what happens if you are not the one who logged in at a certain place or date? In this case, Instagram itself encourages you to quickly change the password so that no one can misuse it. This measure is basic if you want no one else besides you to access your Instagram account. If you reach this point, it is best to always use complicated passwords. Avoid important dates, such as your birthday, or those like 12345. It is best to include a password that uses a mix of upper and lower case letters and numbers. If you are not sure which one to enter, we encourage you to use a password generator. There are many on the Internet that will help you add the best password to protect your Instagram account.
