Notes from your reviewer:

Hello team,

While reviewing your application we noticed that it did not clearly explained the functionality of the requested permission.

Instagram Basic grants the app permission to read IG accounts of users that the app manages. This means access to their profile information and media files (example end-points: biography, followers_count, follows_count, media_count, name, profile_picture_url, username, website, media, including media url, comments under media and permalinks.)

Instagram_Basic can be used to obtain certain fields including:

biography

id

ig_id

followers_count

follows_count

media_count

name

profile_picture_url

username

website

The allowed use cases:

For the next submission it would be best if you provide a valid use case and screencast that showcase the functionality of the requested permission, please note since Instagram basic is rejected we were not able to proceed in reviewing the other Instagram permission since Instagram basic is the foundation of all instagram permission.
