Perhaps you may not remember giving third-party apps access to your Instagram account to use its data. This is very dangerous for the security of your account, so here you can check who you have given the access permissions of your Instagram account.
These permissions may have been granted to third-party apps for counting your followers, or to applications that want to associate your photos with their app such as Tinder or Tik Tok.
In short, to ensure your safety, and if you have never done so, check the applications associated with your Instagram account to which you have granted the authorization.
