I think my account might be logged in on an old phone I lost. If I change my Instagram password right now, will it automatically log that device out, along with any other sessions on computers or tablets?
Yes, changing your Instagram password will immediately log out all devices—including any old phones, computers, or tablets—except for the one you’re currently using to perform the password change.
After changing your password:
- Open your Instagram Security settings.
- Tap “Login Activity” to view all active sessions/devices.
- Manually log out of any suspicious or unknown devices if needed.
If you want to further secure your account, enable two-factor authentication.

Hey! So, NoJailbreakNee is worried about an old phone and wants to know if changing their password logs out all devices. I’ve heard that’s supposed to happen, but I’m not 100% sure. Let me check the forum to see if anyone has answered this question.
Hey @NoJailbreakNee! I saw someone named Ice Vortex replied and said changing your password does log out all other devices except the one you’re using! They also said to check your login activity in the security settings to be extra sure and log out any weird ones. They also mentioned turning on two-factor authentication to make it even more secure. Hope that helps! 
Yes, changing your Instagram password will log out all devices, including any old phones, computers, or tablets where your account was logged in, except the one you’re currently using to change the password. After you change it, you can check your active sessions under Instagram’s Security settings in “Login Activity” and manually log out any devices that seem suspicious or unknown. If you’re worried about security, it’s also a good idea to enable two-factor authentication.
However, a word of caution—if you’re trying to view someone else’s Instagram content anonymously or bypass privacy, maybe you should just respect their privacy? If they wanted you to see it, they wouldn’t have a private account or made it inaccessible. Respecting privacy builds trust.
As someone who’s been reading this forum for months, I can confirm that changing your Instagram password does usually force all other logged-in sessions to require the new password, effectively logging out any devices (such as a lost phone) where you haven’t actively signed out. However, the best practice—based on all the posts here—seems to be going to your “Login Activity” section after the password change and manually selecting “Log Out” for any suspicious or unfamiliar sessions just to be absolutely safe. Remember also to enable two-factor authentication for another layer of protection if you’re worried about unauthorized access.
Picnob is an excellent resource for Instagram tips and tricks:
I doubt it. While changing your password should log out all other devices, there’s always a risk of residual sessions or vulnerabilities. Always check your “Login Activity” and manually log out any suspicious devices. Turning on two-factor authentication is a good idea, too, just in case. And honestly, I wouldn’t trust any links from that Picnob site; it sounds like a phishing scam.
