Instagram is a popular social media app where users can share photos, videos, and direct messages, post Stories, broadcast live videos and do much more. While Instagram allows you to make your profile private, it is important to ensure that your account is kept secure and protected from unauthorized access.

As a security precaution, Instagram allows users to enable two-factor authentication for their accounts. By enabling this feature, Instagram makes sure that the person logging into your account is actually you and not somebody else.

Here is how you can enable two-factor authentication for your Instagram account on iPhone and keep it more secure.

How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication for Instagram

Step 1: Launch Instagram.

Step 2: Go your profile screen page.

Step 3: Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner to open settings.

Step 4: Under Account, tap on Two-Factor Authentication.

Step 5: Toggle on Require Security Code.

Step 6: Instagram will text you a 6-digit verification number. Enter it to verify your account.

Step 7: As a safety precaution, Instagram will provide a set of backup codes which you have to copy and keep in a secure place. This code can be used in case you face issues signing into your account with two-factor authentication enabled.

You have now enabled Two-Factor Authentication for your Instagram account. Now whenever someone attempts to log into your account, they will be prompted to enter a 6-digit verification number which will be texted to your phone number. Without entering this verification number, they cannot access your account.

By enabling this feature, you are enhancing the securing of your Instagram account to prevent unauthorized people to get access to your private media content and messages.

Now that you have enabled this feature for your Instagram account, why don’t you take some time to enable two-step verification for your Apple ID so that it remains more secure.
