How to Fix Flipside Not Showing on Instagram

Instagram has a new feature called “Flipside” that aims to publicize Finstas.

A Finsta is a private Instagram account where users will share photos and stories with their close friends.

Flipside allows you to be with yourself and have a space just for you and your friends.

Only you and the people that you choose can see the Flipside of your profile.

To get to the other side of someone’s profile, you need to swipe down on their profile.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the Flipside option or feature not showing, not working, or missing on Instagram.
