Finsta

What is a Finsta?

A Finsta, short for “fake Insta,” is a private Instagram account used for sharing more personal, unfiltered content with a select group of close friends. Unlike a main Instagram account often curated for public image, a Finsta allows users to express themselves authentically without worrying about follower count or brand image. Examples include sharing memes, inside jokes, embarrassing photos, or unedited selfies. Finstas provide a space for genuine connection and self-expression outside the pressures of public social media.
