If you’d like to know how to make the best FInsta, I suggest you read
Going through a breakup? Your best friend writer Andrew Heinzman’s article What Is a Finsta, and How Do You
and you aren’t as close anymore? Want to
spy on how that company you worked for is Use One? where he says that
doing with their new employee that handles “Managing a Finsta is easier than ever. Like Twitter, you can access
their social media? Well, don’t get caught multiple Instagram accounts from the Instagram app without dancing
or look desperate while searching on their
through login screens. It’s as easy as pushing a button”
Instagram. So, do you and your friends have a Finsta?
We all know the dangers of scrolling through

someone’s Insta feed and going too deep
into it that all of a sudden your clumsy thumb
gives a heart to a 2012 post. But, what if you
want to know what is happening today? How
not to get caught while looking through some-

one’s stories?
Well, that’s where your finsta, A.K.A: fake

Instagram comes in handy.
The person you’re spying on is still going to
see the Instagram account you’re using for
spying but will never know who’s behind that
account and, you will forever live rent free
on their mind. Cruel? Maybe but either way
whether you’d like to admit to it or not you’re
still constantly checking on them, aren’t you?
Anyways, you probably should move on from
spying, that is, after all the mature thing to do.
But don’t feel as bad if you create a Finsta,
most millennials and gen z’s, or zoomers,
like I’d like to call them from now on, have
at least three finstas. Oh, and celebrities do

this all the time as well. Does anyone re-
member when Vanessa Hudgens’ finsta was
revealed? Although we’re not saying she was
spying on someone, she used it more as a

private instagram for her close friends.
According to Urban Dictionary, a finsta is “a
spam Instagram account where people post

what they are too
afraid to post on
[a] real account.”
Finstas were
almost always
set to private
and would be full
of memes, com-
plaints, embarrassing
