So I got the message from instagram about either paying or using it free (at the cost personalised ads) just now.

Doesn't this go against the GDPR? Either way, is there a FOSS alternative for instagram like piped is to youtube? It seems like a good opportunity to stop using the official app, even though it would be better to not use instagram at all (sadly not an option for me right now).
Any suggestions, and if so, are there any that provide functionality for: stories, posts, dms? Those are the 3 things I use instagram for.
Many thanks!
Edit: For messaging I do use beeper, though some media like carousels and posts sent to my dms cant be shown in there, so for those cases I open the official app.
The only thing a third party app can do is keep phone based activity private. If you have to ping a server to do something, that point becomes their data.
This. Also, third part clients are usually just web wrappers for the actual official site
