Visibility of your teen's images on Instagram
Note: If you are under 16 when you sign up for an Instagram account, you’ll have the option to choose between a public or private account, but Private is selected by default.
If you’re over 16, your Instagram account is public by default and you can choose to make your account private at any time. Learn more about how to make your account private.
Anyone on Instagram can view photos or videos on someone's public profile. However, there are several ways your teen can make their account more private.
Set photos and videos to private
If your teen sets their photos and videos to private, only approved followers will be able to see them. Anyone who wants to see your teen's photos and videos will have to send them a follower request which your teen can then approve or ignore.

Remove followers
If your teen has set their photos and videos to private, they'll be able to remove followers.
Block people
Your teen can also block people on Instagram. When they block another person, that person can't view your teen's photos or videos or search for their Instagram account.
