@cybersecuritygirl: Here is how to turn off “Instants” on Instagram Instagram’s new “Instants” feature is here, but it comes with a privacy catch. (And it’s annoying in my opinion)🚨 Instants lets you send disappearing photos in your DMs, basically turning Instagram into Snapchat. What does this mean for you? 1️⃣ The Privacy Illusion: Disappearing photos aren’t truly gone. Anyone can take a picture of their screen with another device. 2️⃣ Less Security: Without end-to-end encryption, your DMs (and your Instants) are no longer fully private. Meta has more access to your data than before. 3️⃣ You Can Opt Out: Don’t want to use it? Go to Settings > Content Preferences > Toggle “Hide Instants in Inbox.” Don’t let the hype of a new feature compromise your online privacy. Send this to a friend who needs to know, and stay safe out there! 👇 Follow @cybersecuritygirl for the best cybersecurity and tech tips! 🔐 #cybersecurity #privacy #instagramupdate #technews #dataprivacy
