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

 By Vaibhav Jain on March 23, 2017       

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.

 By Felipe Berhau on November 23, 2016       

Instagram is trying to look like Snapchat. Today, the company announced two new features that will change the way we interact with the application.

The first feature is "Live Video" as part of Instagram Stories. Stories was introduced some months ago, but it seems people wanted even more. Now you can do live videos and share it with all your followers. The video will disappear when the live video ends.

  

Instagram is also launching "Disappearing photos" for direct messaging. These photos will be deleted after the other users sees it and leaves that conversation, so it won't be there for much time. Overall, these two new features seem like a handy addition to Instagram.
