About The Project

Instagram Redact is used to remove your digital footprint from Instagram. This tool allows you to remove your activity from Instagram.

Inspiration

Instagram's in-built feature to remove your digital footprint from Instagram is not good. It has a lot of rate limits and the official client doesn't allow you to perform more than 100 actions. Hence, this tool was developed to facilitate the process of removing your activity from Instagram
