Instagram, chill out
Instagram recently got some privacy tech Facebook’s had for years. You can now block the platforms’ parent company, Meta, from watching what you do once you close Instagram and move on to other apps and sites.
- Open Instagram, then tap the silhouette (profile icon) in the bottom right corner.
- Select the three-line More menu > Settings and privacy > Accounts Center.
- Select Your information and permissions.
- Tap Your activity off Meta technologies. Here, you can see what info IG is getting.
- For each one, you need to choose Disconnect specific activity.
- You should also remove your history. Tap the Clear previous activity button to do that.
“Kim, I feel like they could’ve made it easier.” Yes, you’re right. It’s almost like they don’t want you to go through all those steps.
