How to Delete Search History

Let’s be honest. From time to time, everyone searches for a profile they don’t want others to know about. We’re not going to pry into your business…we just know it happens. Whether it’s sexy picture or the ex you can’t get over, everyone has that Instagram profile they’re ashamed of. Still, a lot of people are awful when it comes to clearing their profile. What’s strange about that is that clearing your search history couldn’t be easier to do. Just follow these steps:

  1. Open your Instagram settings.
  2. Scroll down to “Clear Search History.”
  3. Confirm the deletion on the screen that appears.

That should clear out your Instagram search history. We say “should” because there are times when a profile will still pop up in your search history even after you’ve cleared it. For those times, you’ll need to check out the next entry…

How to Edit and Delete Comments on Instagram

Nobody likes a dumb typo, but thankfully, you can correct those mistakes if you make them on Instagram. It’s a feature that’s been around for a while, but it’s a bit buried and you might not have noticed it.

To delete a comment on your own post or someone else’s, tap the comment button, then swipe left on your comment. You can then hit the trash can symbol to delete your comment.

As for editing, you can edit your comment on your own posts. Just tap the three dots icon on your post, then tap Edit. You can fix those typos, add a location, or tag people.

How to delete comments on Instagram?

Sometimes you post a comment and then realize that something’s wrong with it. Misspelling a word, tagging the wrong person, or even posting it on the wrong post. And sometimes you want to delete a rude comment that someone left under your photo. Thankfully, Instagram lets you delete comments, even if it’s not so obvious how to do it ar first.

But it’s really easy – you just need to complete the following steps:

  • First – Tap the ‘Comment’ button under the photo to see all comments.
  • Touch the comment that you want to delete and swipe left until the trashcan icon appears on the screen.
  • Tap on the trashcan icon and then click ‘Delete’.
  • Re-write your comment so that it’s how you intended.

How can I delete my Instagram photos?

Sometimes you post a picture on Instagram and after several minutes (days, or even years!) you change your mind and want to delete it. Thankfully, Instagram makes this easy to do.

  1. Go to Instagram on your smartphone.
  2. Click your profile button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Review your photos and tap the one you want to delete.
  4. Tap the options icon (three dots in the right-hand corner of the screen).
  5. Tap ‘Delete’.
  6. Confirm the deletion.

You can do this with as many pictures as you want but it’s still not possible to delete more than one post at the same time.

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.
