Instagram is now using video selfies to confirm users identity (BOTS)

Trust me bot developers will still find a way to bypass it

I doubt so, they still unable replicate the botting era of 2015-2019 let alone another measure like this one

Instagram needs bots or it would be a wasteland

Bad action against users privacy

I can see the use case if it was for example for public figures, politicians, big Influencers, etc. after logging in from a new device or something but to just ask normal users for their biometric data is pretty weird. People won't like it

They will soon require uploading private photos.

Some "dating" sites already do this.

Any word on how they'll do it for desktop users? Not everyone is using apps or phones for that matter. Or will phone app also become compulsory?

Yes, this also happened to me on my second account, and I am not even a bot. It asked me two times a few weeks ago

Social Media has been on a steady decline for the past decade. It's really sad.
