How to Download a Copy of Your Instagram Information

Request an export of account information through Meta's account tools.

Quick Answer

Use Instagram/Accounts Center information-download controls, choose the account/data/date range and requested format, then follow the export process.

Step by Step

  1. Use the platform's official app or website and confirm you are signed into the intended account.
  2. Use Instagram/Accounts Center information-download controls, choose the account/data/date range and requested format, then follow the export process.
  3. Review privacy, audience, recipient, or recovery settings before confirming important changes.
  4. For account-security problems, secure the associated email account and enable two-factor authentication when available.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Social-media menus and features change frequently and can differ by device, account type, region, and app version.
  • Do not send money, passwords, one-time verification codes, or sensitive personal information to an account merely because its name or photo looks familiar.
