Instagram has launched a new 'Security Checkup' feature that will guide people whose accounts may have been hacked through steps to secure their account. 

The Facebook-owned image sharing website says the new feature includes checking login activity, reviewing profile information and updating recovery contact details. 

The firm says it is another way to ensure accounts are as sure as possible, but also recommend people enable two-factor authentication to reduce hacking risk.

This is where a phone number or authenticator app such as Duo Mobile or Google Authentication is required when you login from a new device.

Instagram users will also be able to secure their account using two factor authentication via WhatsApp in certain countries in the coming weeks.
