Instagram to Let You Control the Data You Share with Third-Party Apps

Instagram to Let You Control the Data You Share with Third-Party Apps

Enterprise & IT Oct 15,2019 0

Facebook's Instagram is introducing new in-app features to help you better control the data you share with third-parties through the app.

Third-party apps and websites often provide an option to “Import photos from Instagram” or to “Connect/Link to Instagram.” Some examples include apps that allow you to print your Instagram photos or help you build a website. After connecting your account to a third-party service, you may grant them access to some of your profile information, such as your username and photos. Starting today, Instagram is making it easier for people to manage all of the third-party services they connect to their Instagram account.

You can now manage your connections to third party services by going to “Settings” in the Instagram app. Next tap “Security,” then tap “Apps and Websites.” From there, you’ll have the option to remove any third-party services you no longer want connected to your Instagram account. When you remove a third-party service, they will no longer have access to new data on your account.

To ensure you know what specific data third parties are requesting from you, Instagram is also introducing an updated authorization screen that lists all the information the third party is requesting to access. You’ll have the option to “cancel” or “authorize” this access directly from the authorization screen.

These updates will be rolling out gradually over the next six months.
