Hmm no.
I wonder if this will change the current ToS for Facebook and regular IG
They’ll create a shadow profile for you without you needing to download this app or use their service.
Is the app out already? Or is this just the App Privacy dashboard for Instagram??

So just everything then.
Man, it really looks like a lot when you stack it like that!
On iOS at least, a lot of these (location, contact info, health & fitness, etc), you can deny access to via a popup prompt when the app tries to access them.
It’s a Meta app though so at a bare minimum it’s absolutely going to track the heck out of how you use the app.
I don't know about this particular app, but if I remember right, for a while blocking these requests would actually cause the app to break completely. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the permissions being needed but primarily just to punish people who didn't give them access to their data.
