If you're on sex videos shannon cookInstagram, you may want to check out a new feature called Activity Off-Meta Technologies, which allows users to block Instagram from collecting data on other apps and websites you visit.
On Tuesday, Meta announced in a blog postthat users have a bit more control over how Instagram tracks their web activity. Plus, you can also download data from your Facebook and Instagram accounts simultaneously. In addition, the company expanded two privacy controls to Instagram that were previously only available on Facebook:
Users can now manage "how information other businesses send to us is connected to your Facebook and Instagram accounts"
Users can "review the businesses that are sharing data with Meta, disconnect specific ones to further personalize your experience, or clear this data entirely."

"And for people who prefer to have different settings for each app, that’s still an option too."
