Your contacts do not get notified when you join Instagram. Instagram respects user privacy and does not send notifications or alerts to your contacts when you create an account on the platform. Only you will be aware of your account creation and your contacts will not receive any notifications about it.
However, it’s important to note that when you confirm your phone number or email on Instagram, your account may be recommended to users who have your contact information in their device’s contact list. This means that if someone in your contacts has your phone number or email saved and they are also on Instagram, they may see your account as a suggested user to follow. This recommendation is based on the information they already have in their device’s contact list and not on any direct notification from Instagram.
Instagram uses this feature to help users connect with people they already know or have in their contacts. It can be a convenient way to find and follow friends or acquaintances who are also on the platform. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this recommendation is only made to users who already have your contact information in their device, and it does not notify or inform them directly about your account creation.
In terms of privacy, Instagram has its own data policy that governs how user information is handled. Your device’s contacts are only visible to you and are not shared with other users or third parties without your consent. Instagram takes privacy seriously and has implemented measures to protect user data and ensure that it is used in accordance with relevant privacy laws and regulations.
