Throughout history, there have been made different societial classifications such as hunter, agricultural, traditional, industrial, modern and postmodern. Advanced technology and its everyday practices led to conceptualize today’s society as digital society. This is because it has been observed that borders are getting flexible in the context of space and time with the new developments in technology. This causes a new type of social construction model based on seeing and showing. The aim of the research in this direction is to interpret the new understanding of privacy that changes with the dimension of religiosity in a digitalizing society. The scope of the study is Instagram. The sample group consists of sharing of 31 religious conservative women who live in different cities, are active users of Instagram, and have over 50k followers. The study uses a descriptive analysis based on qualitative paradigm and the approach is phenomenological. Descriptive analysis and phenomenological approach were tried to be used mutually in the example of the sharing of religious conservative women. The research is important in terms of addressing the change observed with the dimension of privacy and religiosity. In the study, it was concluded that religious conservative women living in different cities showed themselves through sharing, while at the same time showing their religiousness within the framework of their religious identity. Religious conservative women, in particular, often included religious meanings, expressions and symbols in their sharing. It has been concluded that religious Instagram female users use religiousness as a tool in the framework of their religious sharing. The relationship between privacy and religiosity in the digital field has become an indication of a new production of meaning.
