What Does RINSTA Mean?
RINSTA means "Real Instagram." RINSTA means “real Instagram.” The term RINSTA was formed by combining the words “real” and “Insta” (short for Instagram.) It only exists to distinguish between a real account (RINSTA) and a fake account (FINSTA), it is therefore used much less.A FINSTA is a side account where teenagers can share how they're really feeling with a select group of followers (usually close friends, or family). On a RINSTA, a user usually keeps their account public and posts flattering and positive pictures. The main goal of a RINSTA is to gain followers, portray the best possible life, or to keep in theme with an Instagram grid. None of this matters on a FINSTA. Instagram started in 2010, and by 2015 this distinction between “real Instagram” and “fake Instagram” was already being observed.
