How to See Which Websites Are Sharing Your Activities with Instagram
1 min read
Summary
Instagram, which is now part of Meta, collects user data via in-app interactions, cookies, and its Meta Pixel JavaScript, and uses it for targeted ads
Users can see which businesses and organisations are sharing their Instagram activities with Meta, and can stop them from doing so
To do this, open the Instagram app, log in, tap your Profile icon in the bottom right, and enter Settings
Click on Accounts Centre under the Your Account section
Navigate to Account Settings, then Your Information and Permissions, and select Your activity off Meta technologies
This shows a list of all organisations that are sharing your activity, with the number of interactions; click on an entry for more information
To disconnect the activity, go back to Your Activity, hit Disconnect specific activity, select the ones to disconnect, and hit Continue; confirm to log out of any associated apps and prevent future Facebook logins.
Note that it can take up to 48 hours for the disconnecting of some activities.
