Meta enables ‘Link history’ on Facebook: What it is and how-to disable it

Meta has introduced a new “Link History” setting on Facebook and Instagram that it said would allow users to find browsing history easily with the apps. The setting is now available on the Facebook and Instagram apps on both iOS and Android. While adding to convenience since the link history feature stores users’ browsing history for 30 days, it raises concerns over Meta’s disclosure that it may use the information to improve ads shown to users across its platforms.
