There are many privacy features available on Instagram, which help you to keep your personal data safe while using the social media platform. In today’s time, the threat of cybercrime is increasing and there are reports of data leaks every day. In such a situation, users have to take care of many things while using the platform. Often, when using social media and websites, many third parties track your activity and use your data.

Meta also tracks your web activity. However, you can stop Instagram from doing so. Instagram offers privacy controls in the Account Center section. With this, users can control their data. Here is the complete method to stop Instagram from tracking your web activity.

Follow the steps given below to stop Instagram from tracking your web activity.

  1. For this, first open Instagram in your device.
  2. Then click on the profile photo coming on the right side.
  3. Now you will see three lines at the top of the right side. Click on them.
  4. After this, click on Settings and Privacy.
  5. Then click on Accounts Center. This is the first option on the screen.
  6. Here you have to select Your information and Permissions.
  7. Then click on Your Activity off meta technologies.

Here you will get many options in the settings. You can view your recent activity, disconnect specific app activity, clear past data or ban future activity to prevent businesses from sending data. If you choose Ban future activity and Disconnect future activity, it will also clear your past activity. This means that they will not have information about your interaction with businesses and organizations.
