Why do people create finstas?

Finstas are usually private accounts, not visible to the public, where the account holder can truly be themselves and share funny quotes, less edited selfies, and more authentic, candid content than they would share on their regular aesthetic Instagram account. Typically, when creating a Finsta account, the followers are reserved to close friends only and not colleagues or acquaintances.

How to create a finsta

To create a Finsta account, you follow the steps to sign up as if you were creating a regular Instagram account.

However, when creating a username, people tend not to use their real first and last name but instead use a funny reference or something clever that only close friends would understand.

Another thing to note when creating a Finsta is to skip the option to link it to your Facebook account, as this could give away who is behind the account, also do not use a photo of you as your profile picture.

What should you post on a finsta?

Finsta, short for "fake Instagram," is a private Instagram account that is used to post content that is not meant to be shared with all of a person's followers on their main Instagram account. Finstas are often used to share more personal or candid content, such as pictures and videos of everyday life, thoughts and feelings, and inside jokes with close friends. Finsta posts are usually more casual and raw than those on a person's main Instagram account, and may include content that is more controversial or controversial. Finsta accounts are often used to give friends a more authentic view of a person's life and personality. It is important to keep in mind that while finstas can be a fun and intimate way to connect with friends, it is important to be mindful of the content that is shared on them and to use good judgment when posting.
