Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows you to prevent others from enhancing your profile picture, offering an extra layer of privacy to your account. Shared by users on Threads, this update can be found in your Instagram profile settings, providing a way to limit unwanted zooming in your profile picture. Although not everyone can be bothered about it, it can be a useful deterrent against potential bystanders and, as a bonus, can deter a critic's attempt.

By limiting the expansion of your profile picture, Instagram aims to reduce the risk of the possibility of stealing a clean version of your picture. This can be especially helpful in making it harder for fake accounts to copy your image effectively. Although a smaller version can still be picked up, it is likely to be pixelated and of low quality, possibly acting as a red flag for fake profiles.
