    We've known about Instagram's plans to create a data portability tool for a while now; it was created to better comply with the UK's upcoming Data Protection Bill and gives its users the ability to download a copy of everything they've put on the photo sharing service. The tool is now live on the Facebook-owned company's site: when you enter your email address, Instagram will send you a "link to a file with your photos, comments, profile information and more."
