BRUH REMOVE THE TRACKING PART. If you see ?igsh in the link, remove it, including the value after =

If you are connected to Instagram and share a post using the share button to copy a link for example, it adds a parameter to the query string called igsh which I believe is the one holding some information about the person sharing.

Why? Because when I sent that link to someone that included the igsh parameter, it then popped up a window in his app on his phone (a family member this time) that showed him "John Smith shared a link with you - follow him?" (with 2 buttons at the bottom to either Follow or Cancel)

That is pretty insane and stupid that they do that, so in case you do not want to expose your identity to some people such as in online groups, be careful

Its overkill but just in case I dont upload ANYTHING from social media or other sites im registered to here. Better safe than sorry.

Nobody here's going to look for you. The only people that will are ITfags that will stalk you, find your linkedin and report you to your employer for being an incel. Don't risk it brah (unless you're in the third world where finding info on you will be hard as shit)

Don't do it, reverse image search could find the image. Don't upload anything on that's personal and could link back to you.
