Instagram Adds New Security

Instagram adds new Security and verification Features 

Instagram is furthering the safety of its billion-user strong platform with the introduction of three new security features. Here's a closer look at each of them:

• About this Account: This feature will soon be added to all popular accounts, with huge followings, to let users know the account setup date, location, ads being run by them, and more.
• Verification: Now apply to get the 'blue tick' next to your name by filling a simple form and providing valid identification.
• Authenticator App Support: Apart from using your phone number, you will soon be able to use third-party authenticator apps to log into your account.

All these features are steadily rolling out on both iOS and Android, meaning they'll reach you in the coming weeks.
