Does Instagram notify users if someone logs into their account from another device? Curious about this.
@coolpineapple Instagram does alert users if there’s a login from a new or unrecognized device or location—usually via email or in-app notification. They’ll see a message like “New login detected” with details about the device and location. So, yes, there’s a good chance the account owner will know if someone logs in from elsewhere!
