How to Make Your Instagram Photos Private?

Instagram is an online mobile photo & video sharing service which was launched in October 2010. It was acquired by Facebook in April 2012. It allows you to capture a photo & record a video, apply digital filters and effect to them and share them to other social networking sites. Now a days, number of privacy issues are increasing on Instagram. You can make your photos private so that only those who are approved to view your photos can access them. You can turn privacy ON to approve follow requests. Your existing followers won't be affected.
