Hide your photos and videos from strangers.
If you do not like publicity and do not want strangers to view your content, close your profile.
After that, all the stories and posts added to it will be available only to existing subscribers and people whom you will allow to subscribe to you in the future.
Even if you add a hashtag to a photo, outsiders will not be able to find it in the search. Plus, your content won't be featured in recommendations.
After you close your account, you can open it again at any time.
