How do I get my Instagram data?

  1. 1Open Download your information

    The link above brings you to step 2. If it does not open, open your Instagram app and follow the below steps.

    Settings → tap Accounts Centre
    Instagram’s Settings and activity screen. The Accounts Centre row near the top is ringed.
    Tap Your information and permissions
    The Accounts Centre menu. The Your information and permissions row is ringed.
    Tap Export your information
    The information and permissions screen. The Export your information row at the top is ringed.
  2. 2Create export, then pick your Instagram profile

    Tap Create export
    The Export your information screen. The blue Create export button is ringed.
    Tap Instagram
    The top of a list of profiles, showing the Facebook and Instagram rows in full. The Instagram row is ringed. Names and photos are redacted.
    Choose Export to device
    A choice between Export to device and Export to external service. Export to device is ringed.
  3. 3Change three settings, then start the export

    • Date range → All time — the whole history, not a recent slice
    • Format → JSON — not HTML. An HTML export cannot be read at all, and you only find out hours later
    • Media quality → Lower quality — your photos are never read, so full resolution is gigabytes for nothing

    Then tap Start export.

    The Confirm your export screen. The Date range, Format and Media quality rows are ringed. The account name and email are redacted.
  4. 4Wait for the email, then upload the file

    Download the .zip to this device and upload it at the bottom of this page.

      Add or change your data

      Load a fresh export to replace a source, or add one you have not used yet. Nothing is sent anywhere until you review it on the next screen.

            Review what gets sent

            Choose which data gets analysed by Gemini or Claude. None of this data or the results can be accessed by PsycheAI or others.

            De-identified before sending. Your name, contact details, ID numbers and other people’s handles are removed.

            What is the working relationship?

            Managing someone and reporting to them are different questions, so the report answers the one you pick rather than a general one about working together.

            That did not come through

            Your data is still loaded — nothing needs uploading again, and a report that already finished will come straight back.

            How should we compare you?

            One basis per run — the report covers the one you pick, in full, rather than three at once. Scan again to compare on another.
