MILLIONS of Instagram users are eligible to claim free money from a $68million settlement, but they have just hours left to apply.

Instagram users who reside in Illinois may qualify for the money, which Meta is sending out to resolve claims it violated state law.

Instagram was accused of violating Illinois users’ biometric privacy rights by collecting and storing biometric information without proper disclosure and consent agreements.

This means the company allegedly collected and stored important information like fingerprints, but Meta has not admitted any wrongdoing in its agreement to settle.

Eligible users must submit a valid claim form by September 27, 2023 to get the money.

Qualifying Illinois users must have used Instagram between August 10, 2015, and August 16, 2023, and the payment amount will vary depending on the number of valid claims filed.
