How to Export Your Data

Step 1: Open Instagram Settings

Open Instagram on your child's device. Tap the profile icon, then the menu icon (three lines).

Step 2: Request a Download

Tap "Accounts Center" at the top. Select "Your information and permissions," then "Export your information." Tap "Create export," then "Export to device."

Step 3: Select What to Include

You'll be directed to the "Confirm your export" page. Choose your date range and select which categories to include. Focus on viewed content, interactions, searches, and followed accounts. Private messages are not required. The more feed and engagement data you include, the clearer the patterns Wolense can identify.

Step 4: Choose Format and Request

Set the format to "JSON" and media quality to "Higher quality." Tap "Start export."

Step 5: Wait for the Download

Instagram typically takes 24 to 48 hours to prepare the file. You'll receive an email after.
