Popular image and video sharing platform Instagram announced that the users will soon be able to download a copy of their content posted.
The announcement comes amid the ongoing data privacy scandal involving Cambridge Analytica and social media platform, Facebook.
As per an Instagram spokesperson, the company is working on a data portability tool for users to download a copy of the photos, videos and messages shared on the platform, reports TechCrunch.
However, it remains unclear whether the company would go beyond allowing users to download the above-mentioned data, such as following and follower lists, likes, comments, Stories, and captions shared with posts.
In March, Facebook, as part of its privacy updates, announced that users can access data shared with the platform by downloading a secure copy and moving it to another service. Data can include photos, contacts, timeline posts, and more.
