(1/2) Instagram requires me to add a phone number to my account in order to continue using it.
But I don't want to link any phone numbers to my account because it poses my account to an extra security risk. Furthermore, I want to leave a chance for myself to act as a new user in the future if necessary using my phone number because the number hasn't been used before, and no records in their computer systems showing I've used its services before.
But I think really this thing should come first
