00:00Hi everyone, welcome back to the channel. Before we begin, don't forget to like this video and
00:05subscribe to the channel for more useful Instagram and tech tutorials. In today's video, I'm going to
00:10show you how to turn off the new instance feature on Instagram and explain why many users are
00:15disabling it for better privacy. If you use Instagram regularly, then you've probably
00:20noticed a new feature called instance appearing inside your Instagram inbox. Basically, the
00:25instance feature allows you to quickly capture and share photos directly from your inbox
00:29using the small camera shortcut. It is designed to make photo sharing faster and more casual with
00:35close friends and mutual followers. But many users are not comfortable with this feature because
00:41the camera opens instantly. It increases the risk of accidental photo sharing. Some users feel it
00:47affects their privacy and many people simply don't use this feature at all. So if you also want a more
00:53private Instagram experience, this video is definitely for you. Now let's get started. Now go to your
00:59profile. Tap on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner. Open settings and privacy. Now
01:06scroll down to the what you see section. Tap on content preferences. Now scroll to the bottom. Here you
01:13will see the option called hide instance in inbox. Simply turn on this option. Once you enable it, the instance
01:22feature will be removed from your Instagram inbox. Let's check the result. Now go back to your Instagram
01:27inbox. As you can see, the instance icon is no longer visible in the sidebar. This means the feature has
01:35been successfully disabled. So this is how you can easily turn off the new Instagram instance feature
01:41and make your Instagram experience more private and less distracting. I hope this video helped you
01:46understand this new update clearly. If it did, don't forget to like the video.
