The ads in my wife's feed, who still has her Facebook account, on the other hand, are very well targeted.
This makes me think that maybe Instagram depends heavily on your Facebook data for targeting, and that deleting your Facebook (not disabling; deleting) actually does delete your data from Facebook
- propogandist 7y agoOn facebook you explicitly provide them information on things like gender, language and basic demographics that advertisers use for targeting. On IG they may need to infer this information from your online activities if your FB is closed. That said, I don't see this being a data gap for too long.
- puranjay 7y agoI just assumed that Facebook would still use my Facebook data it had already stored before I deleted my account.
