Hi there! Recently on some engagement groups i’m part of, there’re rumors about the new IG algorithm being able to track people who engage through links from What’s App and Telegram making a kind of penalization on impressions and reach… How true or false is this? and which are the new things to consider about the new algorithm for having better results with engagement groups?
Thanks!!!
Yes they are able to track it .
Nobody knows for sure if it is being used for lowering reach 
Yes they can track it. I recommend visiting the link, and then closing out the app and searching for the content organically. Not sure if it actually effects impressions and reach, but better safe than sorry.
DM engagement works too. Like starting a group chat.
definitely trackable, more testing needs to be done to determine affect tho
