SAN FRANCISCO, April 1 — Instagram is currently the mobile application collecting the most personal data from its users. The social network has been found to share as much as 79 per cent of the personal data provided by the user, compared to 57 per cent for Facebook and 50 per cent for LinkedIn and Uber Eats.
