Instagram: policy history

Past versions of Instagram's own policy pages, as captured by the Internet Archive. Every sentence below is quoted exactly as it appears in an archived capture, with a link to that capture.

Dates are the archive's capture dates, not the dates Instagram made a change: each change happened at some point between the two captures shown. Sentences under four words, such as menu labels, are not compared. Moving a sentence is not counted as a change.
