Table of contents:
In this tutorial we are going to offer you the possibility of taking a look at the applications that may have access to the personal information that you store on Instagram, a social network in which we focus a lot on our personal lives , which makes it very attractive to the cybercriminal. Instagram has just released this new section within its settings menu so that, at all times, it knows which third-party applications you have given permission to access your Instagram account.
Remove apps access to Instagram
Apps, when you give them permissions, can see the photos you've uploaded to the social network, your personal profile information, what kind of account you're using, read your messages and accompanying text to the images… In short, your account is exposed to the mercy of third-party interests and you, due to ignorance, completely ignore it. That is why you should pay close attention to this tutorial and revoke the permissions you have granted to such third-party applications.
To enter the Instagram settings, enter the application on your profile screen, where you see all your photos, your followers and followed. Notice that in the top right, you have a three-line hamburger menu.press it. A side window will open in which you will have to look at the bottom, which we can read 'Settings'.
On the 'Settings' screen you will find everything related to the operation of your Instagram account. To check which applications can read your information and see your photos, we will have to enter the 'Security' section and, then, in 'Applications and websites'. On the next screen we will see the applications that, at this moment, have access to your personal data and those that have had it at some point in your history with the tool. Click on 'Active' and we will eliminate the access of all of them.
We recommend that, from now on, every time an application asks you for permission to access your Instagram account, read all its demands carefullyand do not allow the crazy. The security of your account depends on it, as well as that of your contacts.It is your responsibility to use social networks in a he althy and safe way.
