Making your Instagram page private, or in other words, keeping your Instagram page closed to public and random people, keeps your page safe and allows only the people you have given permission to (i.e. accepted their friend request) to view your page content. Therefore, if you want only the people you approve to be able to visit your page, it is better that you make your page private.

Note that when you want to create your Instagram account for the first time, you will be asked whether you want your page to be private or public, but if for any reason (for example by mistake) you set your account public and now want to make it private, you can follow the steps below:

Step 1 open your Instagram profile and click on the three lines ( ) icon.
