The app we are talking about is InstaAgent, one of the most downloaded applications these days and that we used to see who was visiting our profile Instagram . Perhaps this app fulfilled its promise, but what is clear is that it had a double intention and also malicious.
So that this does not happen, we have the possibility to restrict the access of these applications (in the event that we have given them permission) to our Instagram account and keep our privacy safe. In this case, this app is the first malicious app that has appeared in the App Store or perhaps the first with the highest number of downloads.
HOW TO RESTRICT APPLICATION ACCESS TO OUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
To carry out this operation, we are going to have to access our Instagram account from the same website, not from the app for mobile devices.
Therefore we enter Instagram.com and access our account. Once inside, we go to our profile and click on "Edit Profile".
We will enter the configuration menu of our account, to display this menu we will have to click on the arrow that appears in the upper left part (in the case that we enter from a mobile device) and All available options will be displayed. We will now have to select the tab “Manage applications”.
Here we will find all the applications to which we have given permission to access our Instagram account.Here, if InstaAgent has been installed, it will appear in the menu, to remove it we just have to click on the tab "Revoke access" and we will automatically remove it.
In this way, these applications will no longer have access to our data, unless we give them permission again. But in the case of doing so, we already know how to eliminate them and not have any kind of problem again.
So if you have been one of those affected by this app, feel free to follow these steps and revoke access to your Instagram account, a good way to avoid future problems.
