Instagram now need you to take video selfies for identity verification

Instagram is now started asking for video selfies for identity verification, as per the screenshots shared by the social media consultant Matt Navara. The move could be an attempt to reduce the number of fake profiles and spam accounts on the social media platform.

The screenshots show that the new identity verification process will help Instagram understand if a certain user is a real person or not. The platform will ask for a short video of turning your head in different directions. The company is promising that these video selfies will not be stored in the backend and will be deleted in 30 days.
