Instagram Begins Blurring Sensitive Posts, Rolls Out Two-Factor Authentication for Everyone

Instagram is trying to make the mobile photo-sharing application safe place for everyone. Today, the company announced two new features that will change the way we interact with the application.

In the near future, Instgram will start blurring out photos and videos that contain sensitive photos and videos. How it works? 

Well, If someone reports a post and Instagram's moderation team agrees that the content isn't suitable for everyone, they'll be blocked by default. You’ll have to tap a button before seeing the sensitive post.

Instagram is also launching "two-factor authentication" for everyone. This security feature adds an extra layer of security to your Instagram account by requiring a code (that is sent to you via SMS) every time you log in. You can enable this feature using the gear icon in your profile page.
