Meta Offers Instagram Users Enhanced Data Privacy and Tracking Control
Meta Platforms, the company that owns Instagram, is introducing measures to enhance user privacy. Instagram users now have the ability to personally prevent the platform from monitoring their online actions, giving them control over this feature. This decision by Meta is in response to worries regarding the mishandling of user data and deceptive privacy agreements.
Meta’s effort to address data issues
This new feature, called “Activity Off-Meta Technologies,” allows users to prevent Instagram from collecting information about their online activities. Instagram users can also see which companies share their data with Meta and decide to disconnect or clear the collected data.
Meta explained: “Activity Off-Meta Technologies allows you to control how information sent to us by other companies is associated with your Facebook and Instagram accounts. You can easily review the companies that share information with Meta, opt out of specific companies and further customize your experience. , or clear this information entirely – it’s yours.”
The latest improvement in the meta: Accounts Center
In addition to these data tracking functions, Meta improves the account center. With this update, users can transfer Instagram photos and videos to other services and download data from both Facebook and Instagram at the same time.
Account Center is a central hub that simplifies the management of settings for multiple applications. Users can configure their settings across all Meta apps at once, making it easier for those who want consistent settings.
However, Tilikeskus offers flexibility to users who want different settings for each application. It allows users to customize the settings of individual applications. For example, you might want the same privacy settings for Facebook and Instagram, but different notification settings. The account center allows you to easily adjust these settings in one place.
The renewed Tilikeskus was presented on Facebook earlier this year. It is a hub that allows users to better manage their settings on Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. Users can manage privacy settings, security settings and advertising settings conveniently from one place.
In short, Instagram users now have more control over their online privacy thanks to Meta’s efforts to address data tracking concerns. The new feature and improvements to the account center allow users to make their own choices about data tracking and settings in the Meta family of applications.
