If you ever had IG natively installed on a device, is it possible for that meta pixel script to still be used on your device?

Don’t have an IG account anymore, but makes me wonder what “services” are running in the background on my mobile.

If you uninstalled the app or disabled it, then it can't run in the background.

A lot unless it's a degoogled ROM, especially on non-Pixel phones like Samsung, they add a massive amount of background processes.
