Well, guys, we all put our best efforts to protect our accounts whether they are on Facebook Instagram Twitter or any other platform, from being hacked. Instagram keeping this security issue in their minds is now preparing for highly secured verification systems. For that they will no more rely on SMSj two-step verification, instead what they are preparing is to confide with highly secure verification systems like Google Authenticator.

it may seem like a conspiracy but Instagram has confirmed it to TechCrunch. Once this advanced authentication system comes into action then it will be a boom to all the Instagram business account users as it will add extra layers for the protection of their accounts and followers. Just hope it will come sooner.
