Does instagram have a data export option now?

  It does not. I've asked support about it but there isn't even one hidden away at the moment. I suspect with GDPR coming one might show up sometime soon though. In the meantime I've been using instalooter (https://github.com/althonos/InstaLooter https://github.com/althonos/InstaLooter) along with some of my own scripts.

    Thanks Charlie, I'm trying to get an export of old messages from Instagram. Scrolling up takes ages and I met my SO there, I'm hoping to get access to those first messages again one day!

      No probs. I spent quite a long time experimenting and instaLooter was the best I could find. Instagram's gone from a place where I posted the odd picture to a serious attempt to document my life (mostly to be consumed by myself). Throughout last year I became increasingly nervous about not having access to all the data!
