A Finsta is a slang term for a "fake Instagram" account. It is a secondary Instagram account that people create alongside their primary or "real" Instagram account. The purpose of a Finsta is often to share more personal, candid, or unfiltered content with a smaller, more trusted group of friends or followers. Finstas are commonly created to provide a space for individuals to express themselves more authentically without the pressure of maintaining a curated and public image. Unlike a primary Instagram account, which may have a broader audience consisting of friends, family, acquaintances, and even public followers, Finstas are typically reserved for a smaller, more exclusive group. Users often limit access to their Finsta by accepting only close friends, trusted individuals, or people with whom they feel comfortable sharing personal and unfiltered moments. To create a Finsta, users need to brainstorm a unique username that doesnt use their real first or last name, and they need to make sure they dont use a real photo of themselves as their profile picture.
