How to Get Notified When Someone Logs Into Your Instagram Account

Have you ever felt something was wrong with your Instagram account, like posts you didn't like, messages you never sent? If so, you might be wondering whether someone else logged into your account.

While Instagram doesn't send notifications for every login, it has an in-built feature that helps you get notified when someone logs into your Instagram. In this guide, we'll explain how to get notified if someone has logged into your account.

How to Know If Someone Logged Into Your Instagram Account

Step 1: Open your Instagram app and go to Settings and Activity.

Step 2: Tap on Accounts Centre, then select Password and Security.

Step 3: Now, click on ''Where you're logged in'' to view all the devices and locations where your account is currently active. Review the list to check for any unfamiliar devices or login locations. To log out of a device that you're currently logged into, tap on that device and then click on the log out option.

Step 4: To get notified when someone logs into your account, tap on Login alerts, which appears just below the "Where you're logged in" option.

Step 5: Enable In-app notifications to receive alerts whenever someone logs into your Instagram account from a new device.

Once you've enabled login alerts, Instagram will send you an in-app notification whenever someone tries to log into your account from a new device or location. If you recognise the login attempt, tap "This was me" and then confirm. If the login seems suspicious or unfamiliar, tap "This wasn't me" and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password and secure your account.

It's also worth noting when you're logging into Instagram on someone else's phone. If you forget to remove your login information, they may still be able to access your account later, and Instagram might not notify you. To avoid this, always select "Don't save login info" when signing in on another device, and be sure to log out when you're done.
