The NPPA said it worked with Instagram for over a year and a half to make this happen. Photographers and other creators now don’t have to worry about the internet grifting their material if they don’t want to. Here are the steps to disabling embeds on Instagram: Disable Instagram embeds on Mobile: 1. Go to your Instagram profile Tap the three lines in the top right corner, then pick Settings.

ASMP and NPAA fought for this feature because third-party websites bypassed copyright law just by embedding Instagram posts. The organizations referenced several court cases when talking to Facebook (which owns Instagram), including Sinclair v. Ziff Davis (full disclosure: Mashable is owned by Ziff Davis). “NPPA believes this change is extremely important given all the lawsuits regarding embedding,” NPPA General Counsel Mickey H. Osterreicher said in a statement. “We hope photographers will take advantage of this feature. We also expect that publications will cease trying to circumvent copyright protections by claiming they have a right to embed images and properly license images from the photographers who often risk their health and safety to make them.” The addition of the new feature means that photographers and other creatives can display their work on Instagram knowing their rights as owners of that content will be a little more protected.
