How To Check If Someone Else Has Logged Into Your Account

To do a quick security checkup for your Instagram account through a computer, simply follow these instructions:

1. Open Instagram on a web browser and log in.
2. Select Profile from the left sidebar and click the gear icon at the top of your Instagram profile page to expand the settings menu.
3. Select “Settings and privacy.”
4. On this page, you should be able to see submenus listed under Accounts Center. Select “Password and security.”
   
5. Select “Password and security” again from the Accounts Center left sidebar.

There, you’ll see a section called “Security checks.” Underneath, hit “Where you’re logged in” and select your Instagram account from the list. On top of the page should be your current computer login. Listed under “Other logins” would be devices and locations where your Instagram account was recently accessed. If any of them don’t seem familiar to you, highlight the radio button next to the entry and hit “Log out.”

The steps should be similar for iOS and Android users:

1. Launch the Instagram app.
2. Hit your profile photo in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
3. Tap the hamburger icon in the top-right corner of your profile page.
4. Go to Settings or “Settings and privacy.”
5. Under “Your account,” tap Accounts Center. This is the new section that will contain settings for your password, account security, and other personal details for Meta-owned social media platforms.
6. Go to “Password and security.”

Underneath the “Security checks” section, hit “Where you’re logged in” and select your Instagram account from the list. On top of the page should be the current login on your iOS device. The “Other logins” section will list the most recent devices and locations where your Instagram account was recently accessed. If you find one you don’t recognize, select the radio button next to it and tap “Log out.”
