Instagram denies update rumor that shows profile visitors

Instagram, from the company Meta, denied this Monday (4) the rumors that were circulating on social networks about a possible update of the platform that would allow you to know who visited your profile – as in the free version of LinkedIn.

In an emailed note from the press office, Meta’s spokesperson wrote: “We inform you that the rumors of Instagram showing people who visited the profile in the ‘Activity’ tab are not true.”

The rumors gained voice when a profile shared, on Twitter, an image showing the alleged visits.

The issue has divided opinion on social media.

Some users would love to receive the news, while others were not happy with the possibility. The fact is that, like it or not, it was all just a rumor, as reported by Instagra. See some tweets:

There are also those who were indifferent to the possibility of updating, because they would continue “stalking”.

About this Instagram update that will show who visited the profile: whoever thinks it’s bad that I’m stalking just lock the account.
