Questions
How do I download my Instagram data?
In the app, open Settings, Accounts Center, Your information and permissions, then Download your information. Pick the account, the parts, JSON or HTML and the dates, and Instagram sends a link once the ZIP is ready.
Can I see who doesn’t follow me back?
Yes. Followers and Following are lists of their own, and Show as a table puts each beside the other to sort and search.
Why do some posts show no place?
Instagram only keeps where a photo was taken when location was on for it. Posts without it show their caption and time.
Where are my direct messages?
They’re in the same download, under messages, and open as chats with their photos. A large account’s download can come as several ZIPs, with messages in one of them.
