Instagram is offering a new way for its users to identify phishing emails and protect themselves against hackers.

 

According to a report, the new feature by Facebook-owned photo-sharing service will show genuine emails the company sent you.

 

An Instagram spokesperson said in a statement “Bad actors are getting better at imitating emails from Instagram, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to distinguish between a genuine email and a fake one”.

There is a tab labeled security that will show you a list of emails the company sent you.

 

The “other” tab will display emails Instagram sent that aren’t related to security issues.

According to Instagram, users shouldn’t click on a link in an email that appears to be from the company, if they can’t verify.
