Good news for the owners of Instagram accounts that may have been compromised, the company launched a new feature named ‘Security Checkup‘ that aims to keep accounts safe and help users to recover them.
During the procedure to re-gain access to accounts, users will have to perform a series of actions, such as reviewing profile information, checking recent login activity, and updating contact details (i.e. email address, phone number).
Instagram also recommends users enable two-factor authentication to protect their accounts.
The company would allow users to use their WhatsApp numbers to authenticate their accounts, but the feature will be available only in selected countries.
