§01 How to get your data
Ask Meta for your data, politely.
Open Instagram and tap your profile picture (bottom right).
Tap the hamburger menu (≡) top right.
Tap Accounts Center.
Tap Your information and permissions.
Tap Export your information.
Tap Create export.
Tap Export to device.
Tap Customise information and pick only Followers and Following — this makes the export tiny and Meta delivers it in minutes instead of hours.
Set Date range to All.
Set Format to JSON — not HTML.
Tap Start export and enter your password.
Wait for the email from Meta — usually under an hour.
Download the ZIP from the email and drop it here. Don't unzip it.
!
Non-negotiable
JSON format is required. HTML exports will not work — you will have to start over.
⏲
Don't dawdle
You only have 4 days to download the file once Meta sends the email. After that the link expires.
