Start by reporting what you suspect to be spam Did you know that you can spare other Instagram users the agony of going through spam comments and photos? If you are using iOS, say on an iPhone, or iPad then go to the comment section of the photo, swipe your ?nger to the left then tap the exclamation mark (!) after which you tap 'scam' or 'spam'. The process is a little bit different on Android. Here, you go to the comment, click 'delete the comment and report abuse, ' and you're done. These takes are of the comment.

2. 23.05.2018 You might consider using a private account Some people have considered setting their pro?le account private in order to avoid spam. It is a good gesture, but unfortunately, private pro?les stop you from gaining a bigger following. For instance, your photos will only show up on hashtags. In addition to this, some users do not like following private pro?les because they may have nasty surprises. For a start, you cannot see what's being posted unless they approve of your request to become friends. Do not let your account be compromised Lots of spam photos and comments on your Instagram account could be a sign that your account is being compromised. Make a habit of checking your comments regularly for any suspicious activity. As much as Instagram features an automated spam prevention system, it is not foolproof. Always remember to check the comments, photos, and tags for spamming accounts. Nobody will do this for you. Report and delete them as soon as you see them. https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1171.html 2/2
