How to Clear Search History on Instagram?
We all know that Instagram keeps a record of our search history. However, what’s annoying is that Instagram makes it apparent that we visit these profiles by showing these as suggestions under search. While this personal record can come in very handy, it presents some potential privacy concerns.
Sometimes the search history just won't clear and the past suggestions start popping up as soon as you type the first letter. In this guide, we will share a solution about how to delete Instagram search history permanently. Let's first start with the basics and learn how to clear search history.
Where to Find Instagram Search History
Unlike some other platforms, Instagram does not have a dedicated page or area for user search history. The previous searches are logged and they are made available at the time of a new search the user will perform. This may make it tricky for some users to find their old searches.
