Exploring Instagram's New Flipside Feature to Replace Second Accounts
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Flipside
Hello everyone! This isn't just a gimmick; you read that right. Instagram has unveiled an exciting new feature called the "Flipside" profile. Many users, myself included, often create second accounts to share more personal moments. It appears that Instagram has recognized the trend among Gen Z to maintain additional accounts for private interactions with select audiences.
Section 1.1: What is Flipside?
So, what exactly is the Flipside feature and how do you utilize it? In essence, Instagram's Flipside profile offers an alternative space that only you and your designated connections can access. Think of it as a private or secondary account rolled into one. With Flipside, you have the option to connect with others or keep it exclusive to yourself. This feature can serve as an alternative gallery for your personal content.
To illustrate how to set up a Flipside profile, I’ll guide you through the process using my own Instagram account.
Section 1.2: Setting Up Your Flipside Profile
Start by clicking the key icon on your Instagram profile.
Once you do this, you'll be taken to your Flipside profile, complete with a welcome message indicating that you’ve just initiated this feature. At this point, you can choose to add connections or skip this step for later.
Next, you’ll need to fill in your details such as username, profile picture, and bio. You can do this by clicking the pencil icon or directly selecting “Add your name” and “Add your bio.” Use the plus icon to set your profile picture.
After setting up your profile, you can begin sharing content on your Flipside. Only those you’ve added will have access to view what you post.
This is how your added friends will view your Flipside profile; they will notice a key icon on your main profile.
When they click on the key icon, they'll be redirected to your Flipside profile, greeted with a welcome message if they’re new to this feature. From there, your connections can engage with your content just like they would normally.
In conclusion, I find this feature incredibly beneficial, especially for those who enjoy sharing more intimate content. Personally, I tend to use direct messaging or other chat apps for such sharing, but even with the Flipside feature, we must remain vigilant about what we post to ensure online safety.
I plan to post weekly, so feel free to comment on topics you'd like me to cover. If you enjoyed this article, please give it a thumbs up and follow me for more updates! You can also support me by buying a coffee!
