We detailed this last year and we checked again today. Meta collects everything it needs to track users across apps, a practice strictly prohibited by Apple.
Stop using the native app. Use the web app.

Link to our demo from last year. Apple's Required Reason API rules aren't being enforced - either they're ignoring it or they can't do it.
P.S.: The data collection is massive. We can't consistently simulate accounts that aren't based in the EU. Data collection isn't as massive for EU accounts. Our entire team is currently in the EU, which makes recording a demo capturing the massive data collection difficult. Our time is limited. It would be great if researchers outside the EU investigated this. We're happy to help.
To investigate this, You need to connect your iPhone to a network where you can capture HTTPs traffic and decrypt it.
1- quit Instagram so it is not running in the background
2- Send yourself a DM or let someone comment on your posts
3- You get notifications and the app should wake up in the background and send the massive data
4- Capture the data, analyze it, redact it and publish it
You can do it with Proxyman.
