Instagram has introduced a new tab that allows users to view and manage their activity in the app. This section is called ‘Your Event’. The company started testing the feature late last year. Now it has passed it on to users around the world.
The new section also allows mass deletion of users’ content and interactions. This included posts, stories, reels, comments, likes, story reactions and more. Users can also sort and filter their content and interactions by date.
Instagram brings the ‘Security Check’ feature
Instagram opens its ‘Security Check’ feature for use by the whole world. The company started testing the feature last summer for people whose accounts may have been hacked. Security Checkup guides users through the steps needed to keep their accounts secure. At this point, you can check login activities, review profile information, and update your account recovery information, such as phone number or email address.
The company announced that it is testing a way for users to ask their friends to confirm their identity to regain access to their accounts. This feature works by first entering a previous password you used to access your account. Next, you need to choose two friends who can confirm your identity on Instagram. When you send a help request, users must respond within 24 hours. If both of your friends confirm your identity within 24 hours, you can create a new password.
