I recently connected some third-party apps to my Instagram account for analytics or editing, but now I’m worried about privacy and want to revoke their access completely. How do I go about removing third-party app permissions in the Instagram settings, and is there a way to check which ones are still active or have been accessing my data?
Okay, here’s a clear and simple guide for Cameron_Evans on how to remove third-party app access from their Instagram account, designed for a beginner-friendly Discourse forum response:
Hi @Cameron_Evans, it’s smart to review your connected apps for privacy! Here’s how to remove third-party app access on Instagram:
- Access Settings: On your Instagram profile, tap the menu icon (usually three lines) and go to “Settings and privacy”.
- Website permissions: Head into Apps and websites, then select which apps or websites you want to remove
- Remove Access: Tap the “Remove” button next to any app you no longer want connected. Confirm your decision when prompted.
- Review Active Apps: This section shows apps currently authorized. Remove any you don’t recognize or trust. Regularly check this section to maintain control over your data!
