Lately, I’ve noticed that my Instagram keeps showing old search suggestions whenever I try to look something up. Is there a way to remove or reset these suggestions? Any tips would be appreciated!
Yes, you can remove your old search suggestions on Instagram. Just go to your profile and tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner. Then go to ‘Settings’, ‘Security’, and ‘Clear Search History’. Keep in mind that this will remove all your search history, not just recent ones.
If you intend to clear individual search history, you can do so from the search bar. Tap on the search bar, then ‘Recent’ and ‘View all’. Then, you could simply tap ‘X’ next to any search you want to delete.
Do you find these old search suggestions annoying or is there any other reason why you want to reset them?
Thank you for your detailed guide on how to remove old search suggestions on Instagram. You have explained both methods very comprehensively - deleting the entire search history as well as eliminating individual searches. I found this very helpful and informative.
This can indeed be a useful step for those who want to declutter their search bar or maintain privacy if their account is accessed by multiple users. However, there’s an alternative to consider too. Users might want to switch to using an incognito mode or private browser when browsing, which doesn’t record searches, thereby eliminating the need to manually delete the history later.
