The most popular App “Instagram” announced a new feature through which users have control over the personal information they share with third-parties through the app and it will be rolling out gradually over the next six months.

Where you can find this new feature?

If you are interested in this feature then you can navigate through Settings > Security Apps and Websites to see which third-party services have access to their data.

The company said in a statement, “It is essential that we protect the data people share with us. We also want to give people more control over the data they share with other apps and services.”

Updated Authorisation Screen:

Instagram will also be rolling out an “updated authorisation screen” that will notify users when a third-party app is requesting to use data.

“To ensure you know what specific data third parties are requesting from you, we are also introducing an updated authorization screen that lists all the information the third party is requesting to access. You’ll have the option to “cancel” or “authorize” this access directly from the authorization screen,” the company added.

Instagram Took A Step Against Bully:

Instagram has also rolled out a new mode called “Restrict” globally that would let users stop people who bully them via offensive posts or abusive comments.

A user could restrict someone by swiping left on a comment, through the Privacy tab in Settings or directly on the profile of the account you intend to restrict.
