Security checkup on Instagram: How to know if your account is safe or not

 Instagram's Security Checkup is a feature designed to help users review and enhance the security of their accounts. Here's how to know if your account is safe or not using Instagram's Security Checkup:

1. Access Security Checkup: Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and log in to your account. Then, go to your profile by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner. Next, tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner, and then tap on "Settings." In the Settings menu, tap on "Security," and you should find an option for "Security Checkup."

2. Review Security Settings: Once you access the Security Checkup, Instagram will guide you through a series of steps to review and enhance the security of your account. This may include checking your login activity, reviewing third-party apps with access to your account, updating your password, enabling two-factor authentication, and more.

3. Verify Login Activity: Instagram will show you a list of recent login activity, including the devices and locations where your account has been accessed. Review this list carefully to ensure that all login attempts were made by you. If you notice any suspicious activity, such as logins from unfamiliar devices or locations, you can take action to secure your account, such as changing your password or logging out of other devices.

4. Check Third-Party Apps: Instagram will also prompt you to review third-party apps that have access to your Instagram account. Make sure to review the list and revoke access for any apps that you no longer use or trust.

5. Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Instagram will encourage you to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security. If you haven't already done so, consider enabling 2FA using methods such as SMS codes, authenticator apps, or recovery codes.

6. Follow Recommendations: Instagram may provide additional recommendations based on your account's security settings and activity. Follow these recommendations to further enhance the security of your account.

By completing the Security Checkup and following Instagram's recommendations, you can help ensure that your account is as secure as possible. It's a good idea to periodically review your security settings and perform a Security Checkup to keep your account safe from unauthorized access and potential security threats.
