Last chance for Instagrammers to travel using Netflix's coffers

In case you didn't know, Netflix is offering talented Instagrammers a chance to travel to unknown European and Middle Eastern locations while earning $4,000 USD for that said two week stint. Not a bad deal, right? Well, you have until the end of March 6, which is today, to join. To apply for the job, you need to hashtag three of your top photos with #grammasters3 and follow @Netflix. Netflix is looking for TV and movie buffs that have a photographic eye. Make sure to choose the three shots that show your interests or passions. 

Netflix will pick four finalists that will get the job and visit the sets of popular shows and films, including Netflix original shows. And yes, they will handle the travel arrangements for you. To learn more about the "job" (let's face it, this is such a cool opportunity), you can find out more about it here.

Instagram closes off access to apps that let you ‘be’ other users

A recently launched app for Instagram called Being let users see the Instagram feed of any public user. What this means is you could see the app through the eyes of a celebrity. You could see who they follow and help that curate your list. But it seems Instagram isn’t happy with that as the app has lost access to Instagram’s API. The popularity of the app as it gained over 40,000 users since it launched around eight days ago might have brought Instagram to the app’s purpose and that might have caused its downfall. The company won’t say though if the loss of access to Instagram’s API is intentional.

Instagram reportedly started rolling out two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication is possibly one of the best ways to keep your online accounts secure. It took Instagram long enough to adopt the feature but it seems that’s about to change soon. The app has reportedly started rolling out the feature to some of its users. When it’s available to you, you just need to verify your phone number. Once you open the app and try to sign in with your account name and password, you’ll get a text message with an authentication code that you need to log in with. Basically, it’s the same application with other two-factor authentication logins. There is no official word yet from Instagram when they’ll roll it out for everyone. But it should be making its way to you soon.

Instagram might soon let you manage multiple accounts

If you’re a business owner who manages both your business’s Instagram page while keeping your own account or are of the younger set who keeps “fake” and “real” accounts, things might get easier for you soon. Much like what Twitter allows you’ll be able to switch between multiple accounts. Instagram confirmed they are testing the feature on its iOS app and users on that platform have started to see it. Instagram started doing this for Android users back in November. But it’s still not an official feature and they won’t say when it would become official.

Those who see the new feature will see an Add Account option in the app’s settings. Once you enter the second account, you’ll see a new menu at the top of your profile page and push notifications will show which Instagram account has some activity.
