Instagram's 'Your Activity' & 'Security Checkup' Are Now Available

Instagram is creating a "Your activity" feature that will allow users to view and manage their app activity. The functionality was first tested late last year and is now being sent out to all users globally. Users may now remove their material and conversations in masse using the new tab. 

Posts, stories, reels, comments, likes, storey sticker reactions, and more are all included. Within the new display, users will be able to sort and filter their content and interactions by date, as well as search for prior comments, likes, and storey responses from specified period ranges.

You can also examine your search history, see the links you've visited, and the amount of time you've spent on the platform, as well as locate anything you've recently deleted or archived. To get to the new tab, go to your profile, press the menu in the top right corner, and then choose "Your activity."

Instagram's "Security Checkup" tool is now available to everyone in the globe. Last summer, the business began testing the function for customers whose accounts had been hijacked. Users can utilise Security Checkup to walk them through the procedures to safeguard their accounts. You may monitor login activity, examine profile information, confirm the accounts with which you share login information, and change your account recovery information, such as your phone number or email address. By going into your settings, you can finish your security inspection.

Users may also ask their friends to validate their identities in order to restore access to their accounts, according to the business. To utilise the function, you must first input a prior password that you've used to log in to your account. Then you'll need to identify two Instagram buddies who can verify your identification. 

When you submit a request for assistance, the users must react within 24 hours. You'll be allowed to establish a new password if both of your friends validate your identification within 24 hours. If they don't, you'll get a second chance to pick two new mates. Instagram promises to provide more information on this feature shortly.

Aside from these new capabilities, Instagram just debuted a new profile banner that shows a user's forthcoming livestreams. In the United States, the firm has began an early test of creator subscriptions. Only a few producers may now charge their fans for access to exclusive Instagram Live broadcasts and Stories. 

For access to their exclusive material, creators can set their own pricing. Paid subscribers will be distinguished from unpaid users in the sea of comments by a distinctive emblem. Instagram isn't the only social media network experimenting with subscriptions; TikTok has also stated that paid subscriptions are being tested.
