Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms. If you’re looking to share your thoughts and daily ideas with your loved ones, friends, and families then there is nothing like Instagram.
It has over 1 billion users and over 2 billion application installs across devices. In order to use this platform, you need to download and install the application first.
For that, you need to open your device and need to open the application store depending on the OS you’re using on your mobile device.
If you’re using an Android device then you need to open the PlayStore, if you’re using an iOS device then you need to open the AppStore.
Once the store opens, make sure to search for the application called Instagram.
Once you get the application, now, you need to hit the INSTALL button and your application will start installing on your device.
Once it’s installed, now, you need to open it and create a free account if you don’t have one. If you already have an account then just sign in with your credentials and you’re good to go with IG.
Instagram is easy to use and there are tons of features that you can take advantage of. It’s a visual platform that’s why you can only share images and videos.
You can share your daily pictures, these pictures and videos should be your original work if it’s not original work then get the required permission before posting from the original author.

Here are the steps to protect your content:
We’re sharing our pictures and videos on Instagram and other social media platforms without even thinking about privacy.
We’re sharing sensitive content that shouldn’t be shared on social media because it can leak our private lives. We don’t think about sharing such sensitive data on the internet.
Instagram is also the same part. If you want to protect your account from being leaked by anonymous persons then here is the catch. Instagram offers an option by which you can make your account private.
Private means only your followers can view the images and videos you shared on your profile. In order to enable this setting, you need to take care of the below steps as I explained.
1. First, you need to open your Instagram application on your mobile device. Once the application will open, make sure to click on the profile icon at the bottom-right of your profile.
2. When you’ll open your Instagram profile, now, you’ll see three parallel lines at the top-right of your Android mobile screen.
3. When you click on that, you’ll find various options, make sure to hit the SETTINGS tab.
4. When you’ll click on the SETTINGS, here, you’ll find the option called PRIVACY. Make sure to click on that and you’ll see the first option called PRIVATE ACCOUNT.
5. Make sure to toggle on this option and your account will now become private. Now whatever you share on your IG profile it’ll be viewed only by your followers.
These are the required steps to make your Instagram account private. In privacy settings, there are other options as well. You can explore these options and see which one is good or which one is not good for you.

Now, let’s move further and discuss the screenshot. Suppose, you like someone’s Instagram post and you want to save that post in the local memory of your mobile device.
Now, you have two options to do this, either you can take a screenshot or you can use a third-party website for downloading that post.
Now, the question is when you’ll take a screenshot is there any notification that will go to the owner’s profile? Well, the direct answer to this question is a big NO!
Instagram doesn’t offer any such feature. You can take screenshots of any Instagram post and can save them on your mobile device.
If you want to download and want to use any image then appropriate permission is required from the owner’s side before using the image.
