Still in the Trial Phase, Instagram Officially Closes Flipside

If you now access the Flipside feature on Instagram, then you will get a notification like the image above. The notification explains that Instagram will officially close the Flipside service or feature, officially, as of May 24, 2024.

To dispel the rumors, Instagram also explained that content such as photos, videos, etc reels What you have uploaded to your Flipside account will not be deleted, even though the feature has been closed.

Party META also provides an opportunity for users who want to save posts in any form to their cellphone storage memory, then you are given until August 24 2024. So, we can confirm that the news circulating is a mistake.

Furthermore, if you don't choose to save it to your cellphone device, the post will automatically go into the archive tab which you can access via your respective Instagram profile. Your posts won't just go out to the main account, like the rumors circulating.

The reason Flipside closed was the lack of users of the feature. Most of them are more comfortable to have two separate accounts. This is because there are many cases of wrong uploads on the first account that occur.

Also, Instagram has provided Hide and Close Friend features which are similar to Flipside.

Features and How to Use Flipside

In simple terms, the features available on Flipside are almost similar to the Close Friend feature. You can freely express yourself through Flipside, without having to pay attention to people's views, as well as the aesthetic tone of the feed, like your main Instagram account.

However, the dilemma occurs here. Instagram is considered not as good at reading the situation, because the Flipside feature should have been around some time ago, if it wanted to attract lots of users.

So, Flipside's journey as an Instagram feature is relatively short. Only from the beginning of February, until May 2024 only.

How to See Your Friends' Flipsides

For those of you who still want to use Flipside before it officially closes, you need to know the feature of seeing your friends' Flipside.

For the record, you can only see your friend's Flipside if he or she includes your personal account in the list of people who can access their Flipside. Because, not just anyone can access the Flipside feature.

The sign that you are included in the list is that in the bottom right corner of your friend's Instagram account there will be a key image. Press that button to browse your friend's Flipside account.
