The popular social media platform Instagram has launched the selfie video feature. The reason for this step of Instagram is explained as blocking fake and spam accounts. As it is known, there are too many fake and spam profiles on Instagram. The platform has now launched an innovation for these profiles, which annoy users for different reasons. Here are all the details on how and where to use the video selfie…
What is Instagram aiming for with a selfie video?
Fake profiles and spam accounts are a serious headache for social media platforms. Instagram has a new solution to block such spam accounts! Now on Instagram, users will take a video selfie to verify their identity.
Social media consultant Matt Navara talked about the innovation in question. Instagram has announced the launch of its selfie video feature. However, the owner of the platform, Meta, made a statement regarding this feature. He implied that users should not worry about data security.
Meta explained that the video selfies you upload will never appear on Instagram. He also stated that these videos will be deleted within 30 days. In addition, the company announced that it will not collect biometric data and will not use the company’s facial recognition technology.

So, where will this feature be used? Instagram will ask new users for a short selfie video. This video will then be used by AI (artificial intelligence) algorithms to verify that you are a real human. Video is not yet requested from existing accounts.
Instagram said, “We need a short video where you turn your head in different directions. This is a real person and will help us verify your identity. ” he declared. However, we’ve known that Instagram has been working on this feature for a while. In fact, it started to implement it in August of last year, but stopped the application due to technical problems.
Dating apps like Tinder and Bumble have similar features. These apps have long asked users to upload selfies from different angles to verify their identity. Such photo verification systems are starting to become commonplace as various dangers increase. That said, Instagram’s video selfie verification is theoretically more robust.
