Images that are going viral on the internet show that Instagram would be showing who visited user profiles; Meta decided to talk about the subject
Recently, a huge uproar took over social media about a supposed new Instagram feature. According to rumors, the new update would allow users to see who visited their profile on the platform.
With the spread of information accompanied by images, the opinions of Internet users were divided, generating a significant repercussion.
However, amid all the buzz, Meta itself, the company that owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, went public to clarify the situation.
Understand the case and see the positioning of the Goal
The rumors started when some screenshots began to circulate on social media, supposedly showing a new Instagram notification feature.
The images showed that the update would allow the user to know how many times a certain profile was accessed by someone. This information, as it turned out later, was false.

Information that Instagram will show who viewed the profile is false
Even without official confirmation from the company, the supposed new function caused a real stir on the networks. While some users viewed the possibility of knowing who visited their profile positively, others were uncomfortable with the idea, even threatening to leave the platform.
So, in response to all the confusion, Meta representatives denied the information and reassured their users about any abrupt and non-consensual change to Instagram’s privacy policies.
It’s not the first rumor about the feature
It is interesting to remember that this is not the first time that rumors have circulated about the implementation of this type of feature by Instagram.
Last year, Meta had to deny a similar rumor that claimed profile views would appear in the social network’s “Activity” tab.
