Now you CAN’T feed the Insta-trolls…
Sanebull on We have even more new features for IG… and these features are more functional than they are entertaining. However, the company has decided to get ahead of the problems that plague Facebook and Twitter, among other platforms, with updated security features. The goal? To keep you and your information safe – because you won’t do it on your own.
Don’t feed the trolls… IG is trying to keep the trolls away from you and under their bridges where they belong. Keeping trolls at bay means ensuring that the person behind the account is who they claim to be. Insta’s “About This Account” feature will allow users to see the date the account was started, country of origin, other accounts with shared followers, and usernames changes in the past year.
Other features include… the option to use third-party authenticator apps to log into Instagram more securely. Also, public figures can apply to verify their accounts with their username, full name, and a copy of identification. These celebs, public figures, and other famous accounts will be verified, similarly to Twitter, with a badge. God, I want a badge…
