Instagram Warning & How to Toggle Between Accounts

Hello, friends! This post is a little bit different than my normal crafty post or recipe. So bear with me! ;) A few weeks ago I had a huge scare when one of my friends sent me a facebook message letting me know that she had gotten a notification that I had joined Instagram (odd!), & she said the account was under my 15 year old daughter’s Instagram handle (even stranger!). What made it even worse (and gave me that awful sinking feeling!) was that this fake account was posting inappropriate pictures. So not good! So of course, my mama bear instincts took over! I changed passwords, double checked log in attempts, checked my daughter’s real instagram account, double checked that it was private, searched for the fake one (It had been deleted!), check my accounts to see if anyone had been trying to hack in, & I started poking around my settings in Instagram. Annnnd I couldn’t believe what I found ~ Instagram had been telling everyone exactly where I lived! So let me show you what I figured out, & how you can prevent this from happening to you!
