2. Tap the “Profile” icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner of your profile page.
4. Tap “Settings” in the menu that appears.

This will take you to the settings page for your account, where you can find various options for customizing your account and controlling your privacy. Some of the options you may find in the advanced settings include:

• Account: This section allows you to change your username, email address, and password.
• Privacy and security: This section allows you to control who can see your posts, who can see your story, and who can send you messages. You can also enable options like Two-Factor Authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account.
• Notifications: This section allows you to customize the notifications you receive from Instagram, such as when someone likes or comments on your posts.
• Accessibility: This section contains options for improving the accessibility of the app for users with disabilities, such as enabling closed captions for videos or increasing the text size.

Are There Any Advanced Settings for High-resolution Photos?

There are no options for adjusting the quality of an Instagram photo. A photo you upload to Instagram may be different in resolution from the original picture you posted. According to Instagram, the image is compressed to a lower resolution than the original. Although Instagram ensures that all photos are uploaded at the highest resolution, it does not guarantee its accuracy. 

How to Hide Likes and Views in Advanced Settings

Your posts can be hidden from likes and views. Hiding them is as simple as tapping the toggle button, as shown above. Only your photos and videos will show like counts and views if you select this setting. It means that other users can’t see the number of likes a post has or the number of views a video has received.
