There, you'll be able to see what kinds of topics Instagram thinks you're interested in. There are dozens of interests on the list — just keeping tapping "View More" and the list will fill in.
To me, the list seems completely off. I'm interested in soccer, but not the player Lionel Messi in particular, who shows up in my list. And the rest isn't especially appealing, either — in fact, I wouldn't tap on any ads that showed me anything on this list.
This isn't a call for Instagram to improve its data tracking and collection, but it's still interesting to see what a major company thinks I'm interested in. Apparently, it has no idea, which actually offers some kind of relief. It's also a good thing that Instagram is being transparent and lets users see this kind of data, too.
