If you decide to make your Instagram account private, your posts will be seen only by your followers, and any hashtags you use will be hidden from searches. Here's how it works on the Instagram app on Android and iOS devices.

Making your profile private is quite simple. Here are the steps to getting it done, as explained using the Instagram app:

  • Tap your profile icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
  • Tap Menu (three horizontal lines) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  • Tap Settings.
  • Tap Privacy.
  • Under Account Privacy, toggle on Private Account.
If it's not your whole profile you want to make private, but just a few pictures, you also have the option to hide select photos on your Instagram account. The option is in the photo menu.

If you are under 16 when you sign up for an Instagram account, you’ll have the option to choose between a public or private account, but Private is selected by default. If you’re over 16, your Instagram account is public by default and you can choose to make your account private at any time. Learn more about how to make your account private below.

Keep in mind that business profiles aren't able to make their accounts private. If you want to make your business account private, first switch back to a personal account. Posts you share to group profiles may be visible to the public depending on whether a group profile is public or private.
