Want to stop Instagram from tracking your online activity? Now you can with Activity Off-Meta Technologies.
Meta has added a new option that will let you block Instagram from collecting information about the websites and apps you visit. Previously available only for Facebook, this option is now being expanded to Instagram as well.
Dubbed Activity Off-Meta Technologies, this tool lets you manage how information other businesses send to Meta is connected to your Facebook and Instagram accounts. Using it, you can review such businesses, disconnect specific ones, or clear the data entirely.
Then there’s Transfer Your Information, which is now also available on Instagram. It lets you transfer all your photos and videos uploaded to Instagram to other services, making it easier to share memories, particularly to third-party services.
At the same time, Meta is also streamlining the Download Your Information and Access Your Information sections. Now a unified page lets you manage both these things for Instagram and Facebook for a more streamlined experience.
“We’ve heard that people want to be able to easily make decisions for multiple apps at once, so moving these settings into Accounts Center aims to address that by letting people choose their settings for all of our apps simultaneously. And for people who prefer to have different settings for each app, that’s still an option too,” reads Meta’s press release.
You can access Accounts Center on Instagram by heading to Settings and privacy and selecting Accounts Center. This menu is also present on Facebook and Messenger.
