To question this SMS text from facebook?

It said " Use verification code - to verify your Instagram account. I do not have an account with Instagram, nor have I ever signed up for one. Does this mean somebody's swiped my details, or do facebook automatically set up an Insta account in your name and ask you to verify it?

TIA

Nope - it means someone's trying to setup an Instagram account using your Facebook credentials. Identity theft basically. However, it is destined to fail, because you've got what's called 'two-factor authentication' in place. Well done you - relax and ignore it.

Someone’s set up an Instagram account and used your number. It may have just been an accident though.

Probably go grab your own Instagram account, and then put 2 factor on it so no one can impersonate you. More than likely it’s someone who’s put the wrong phone number in though.

Phew, thanks! Apparently fb had an outage last night and I was worried that some hacking may have gone on.
