We’re seeing more and more social media scheduling apps pop up, and it makes sense — everyone is trying to manage their content better, post more consistently, grow engagement, and even decide where to spend money on ads.
Because of that, we end up connecting our Instagram accounts to different third-party apps like Postmoore.
But at some point, you might want to:
renew permissions
remove access
or just see what apps are connected to your account
So in this blog, I’ll walk you through how to manage your Instagram permissions in simple steps.
Go to Your Profile
I’m assuming you’ve already connected your Instagram to a third-party app before.
Now open Instagram on your phone and go to your profile.
Tap the menu icon (☰) at the top right.
Find Website Permissions
From the menu, scroll down to “Your App & Media.”
Tap on Website Permissions, then select “Apps and Websites.”
