Instagram: delete search history - how it works
You can delete the search history on Instagram in just a few steps on iPhone and smartphone. We show you the exact procedure in these instructions.
Delete search terms on Instagram
If you search for hashtags and users, this information is saved in Instagram's search history. This saves you typing in a new search, but if a friend looks over your shoulder, he'll immediately see your Instagram preferences. To completely clear the history:
- First open the Instagram app on your smartphone or iPhone.
- Then tap the profile icon on the far right in the menu bar.
- Now you have to open the settings. On Android this works via the three small dots in the top corner.
- Now swipe all the way down and tap the "Clear Search History" entry in the "Account" section (see image).
- Finally, confirm the query with "Yes, I am sure".
