Providing Instagram users to set the privacy of their Instagram profiles is a very helpful feature. By default, it is set to “Public” which means anyone can view your Instagram profile, its posts, your Instagram photos and videos that you’ve uploaded to your profile. Anyone can follow you too. But, if you want to hide your profile content from any random user and decide which person can follow you or not, set your IG profile’s privacy to “Private” which enable all these features.


Making Instagram profile Private also removes the “Copy Link” from your Instagram posts (Images & Videos) even for your followers so, even Regrann is unable to help you download Instagram photos & videos from a private account.
