1. Steps to Clear History on Instagram
The first step to clear your Instagram search history is to open the Instagram app on your mobile device. Once you’re on the main screen, locate the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner. Within the menu, scroll down until you find “Settings and Privacy.” Tap on it, and you’ll see a submenu. From there, select “Accounts Center,” which will lead you to “Your Information and Permissions.” Once you’ve reached this section, tap on “Search History.”
Now that you’ve accessed your search history, you’ll see the option to “Clear All Searches.” This is where you can wipe the slate clean. Instagram allows you to choose the time frame for your search history clearance: “Last Hour,” “Yesterday,” or “All Time.” Depending on your preferences, select the relevant option.
