As per my previous post regarding Instagram, it was suggested to me to add it to a separate profile on grapheneOS. I have a couple of questions about it:

1.) Does the VPN on my main profile apply to my secondary profile

2.) Do I even need a VPN on my second profile if the only thing on it is Instagram and most permissions are off

3.) Is there a way to transfer selected images/files to the secondary profile

Any other tips for limiting Instagram’s tracking are welcome as well. EXCEPT for “Instagram bad get rid of it.” I am already aware of that.

      I’ve only got about a month left that I have to use it. Would prefer to use a separate profile as opposed to a web browser so I wouldn’t have to sign in all of the time + get flagged as a bot because of my VPN. I have tried webapp sandboxing but it hardly worked and broke most things.

        Use Instander instead. It’s a clone that removes quite a few of the data harvesting and shows no ads either.
