Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Flipside Instagram feature is available to several global users, including in Indonesia. This feature, which is similar to a ‘second account’, has been in development for months and first appeared in December 2023.
Instagram’s Flipside feature seems to be inspired by the Gen Z phenomenon, which often creates alternative accounts or what are called ‘second accounts’. Different from the main account which is more curated, the second account usually contains content that is more personal and ‘honest’.

So, what is the function of Flipside Instagram if many people already have second accounts? It should be noted, the second account is an account that is completely separate from the main account.
Users must create a new account by re-entering their email and personal identity. So, Flipside Instagram can be used as an alternative account without having to create an additional account.
Users only need to create a private account within the main account. Friends who already follow each other on the main account can also be directly selected to enter the Flipside Instagram account.
You could say that Flipside accommodates the needs of Instagram users who have alternative personalities.
This feature will be useful for those of you who use the main account to share specific hobbies. For example, the main account for sharing visual works, music portfolios, or simply travel content.
More outspoken content can be ‘hidden’ on Flipside Instagram for those closest to you to enjoy.
To use Instagram’s Flipside feature, first make sure the Instagram application is running on the latest version. Next, check in the interface whether a ‘lock’ icon is available or not. Instagram will also provide notifications if your account has received Flipside. So, here’s the complete method:
