How do I delete videos on Instagram?

Sometimes you change your opinion about one of your Instagram videos and decide to delete it. It’s possible to delete videos on Instagram, and it’s the same as deleting a photo.

Within the Instagram app on your phone or tablet, you are allowed to delete only one video at a time. Follow these steps to delete any of your unwanted Instagram videos:

  • Open Instagram on your phone/tablet.
  • Log in to your Instagram account.
  • Tap your profile icon in the lower-left corner.
  • Search for the video you wish to remove (Try the grid format to better see your videos).
  • Open the video you want to delete and tap it.
  • Tap ‘Options’ (…) in the upper-right corner.
  • Tap ‘Delete’ and then confirm your decision.

For now, Instagram, unfortunately, doesn’t give a possibility to delete several videos on Instagram at one time.

How To Find Someone’s Instagram By Username

If you know someone’s Instagram handle, you can search for them by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom of the app.

You can actually search for specific accounts, hashtags, and places in this same spot.

As you spend time on Instagram, the app will get to know you. The search tab will be populated with suggested categories and posts that Instagram thinks you might enjoy. This is a great place to find new people or hashtags to follow!

How To Find Facebook Friends On Instagram

2019 Instagram Update: Instagram used to allow you to search for friends from your Facebook contacts under settings after you connected your Instagram account to your Facebook account. This feature is no longer supported.

Some people have had success installing an older version of the Instagram app to access this feature, but we don’t suggest trying this. Instead, try searching for your friends by name, or share your Instagram Nametag on Facebook and invite your friends to follow you.

How To Find Someone You Know On Instagram

To find friends you already know on Instagram, you will start by syncing up your phone’s contact list.

To sync your contact list:

  1. Tap the profile image on the bottom right of the screen (it’s your profile pic).
  2. On your profile page, click the three lines in the top right corner to reveal the settings and menu options.
  3. Click on Discover People and connect your contacts.
  4. Tap on the “Follow” button next to the people you want to follow from the list that populates on the Contacts tab. You can also follow people from the Suggested tab in this menu section.
  5. You can also go to your main settings by clicking on the settings gear at the bottom of the menu, tapping “Follow and Invite Friends” and following contacts there or inviting friends.

Instagram Tip: If your friend’s Instagram account is private, you may have to tap “Request” instead of “Follow,” so they can approve the connection.
