They stop showing ads if you pay for Instagram in the EU.

However they do not stop tracking you.

If you turn off personalised ads in the EU for insta they hijack your scrolling to give you "ad breaks" which is actually a really neat feature because it reminds me I've started doom scrolling and I close the app

  • Yep indeed.

    I just wish I had the option they have in the Netherlands. Where you can set the "Following" tab as the primary and it doesn't constanly revert back.

    A judge decreed that that must be done for users in the Netherlands but it's not available anywhere else.
