I know Instagram is anti privacy, but can anyone explain this? Question about multiple Instagram accounts on different apps sharing data between each other - eviltoast

So I have 2 Instagram apps on my phone. Instander is my personal account and instathunder is my “lewd” account (mostly cosplay girls and such). They’re on separate apps and use separate emails, however, my main accounts search page is like 90% cosplay/goth/alt girls. I have never looked that up on my personal account but its all that’s being recommended.

Are they reading information from each other? How can I stop this? Also, how do I get my personal accounts feed to be normal again?

    On Android, apps can read information from each other as long as both apps consent. If these apps are using the same libraries to connect to Instagram then that library may be enabling sharing data between the two apps.

    I assume the situation is similar on iOS.
