Instagram users just retained a bit more privacy online as the Meta-owned app now lets its users tell Instagram not to track their activity across the web.

An alarming detail about the newly-launched Threads app has come to light -- deleting a Threads account will also delete your Instagram account.

Last month, Instagram started testing the ability to add songs to profiles in a callback to the MySpace days. Audio integration into the app apparently didn't stop there, as it has already rolled out a way to add auto-playing music to posted photos.

Cue the MySpace flashbacks because Instagram is testing a feature that would bring songs to profiles.

In an effort to put more control back into the hands of Instagram users, the company is rolling out the "Recently Deleted" feature. Instagram says this addition was made to mainly to deal with hackers who will sometimes delete content after gaining access to an account.

Here's a new way to be violated in the social media era: Post a photo of yourself on Instagram, then wait for somebody you don't know and didn't authorize to repost an edited version that looks vaguely like you, except shinier and with a lot more makeup.

You've heard us mention the US Department of the Interior once before, in reference to Travis Roe's awesome Grand Canyon lightning strike photo that went viral a couple of months ago. One of the department's goals is to get people interested in visiting different areas of the United States, and they do this by sharing some of the most beautiful photos they come across.

Roe's photo went viral after the Interior Department shared it on their Facebook page, but if you really want a great overview of beautiful US imagery, the department's Instagram account is the way to go.
