To clear Instagram search suggestions and reset your search history, follow these steps:

On the Instagram App:

1. Go to your profile.

2. Tap the three lines (menu) in the top right.

3. Tap “Your activity.”

4. Select “Recent searches.”

5. Tap “Clear all” to erase your entire search history, or tap the “X” next to individual items.

Notes:

Clearing search history affects recommendations but Instagram may still show some suggestions based on your activity.

For even greater privacy when viewing Instagram content, use Picnob to browse, search, and view Instagram Stories/Profiles anonymously without influencing your own Instagram search data.

There’s no official way to permanently disable suggestions, but regularly clearing your history minimizes exposure.
