Checking your Instagram browsing history can give you insights into the content you've viewed and why you're seeing related ads. Additionally, reviewing your Instagram browsing history can help you rediscover past content.
Controlling your browsing history can alter the ad topics on Instagram, and deleting your web browsing history on Instagram can enhance personal data security.
1. How to Access Your Instagram Browsing History
Step 1: Open the Instagram app on your phone.
Step 2: Next, select Account (1) => Options (2) => Your Activity (3).
Your Activity section on Instagram stores all your Instagram usage history, including timestamps and links opened within the system.
Step 3:
The links stored in your Activity section include:
- Links clicked within posts
- Links clicked within messages
- Links clicked within ads
These links are stored from the moment you start using Instagram and will remain in the list indefinitely unless you hide or delete them.
Step 4: If you wish to hide links clicked within Instagram, follow these steps:
- Hide History: Hide all opened links on Instagram
- Hide: Hide each opened link on Instagram individually
2. How to Delete Browsing History on Instagram
If you want to permanently delete your browsing history (to avoid personal data collection), follow these steps:
Step 1: Then, select Account (1) => Options (2) => Settings (3) to view changes on Instagram.
Step 2: Then, select Browsing Settings (1) and choose Delete (2) under Browsing Data.
Step 3: Browsing data includes all web history opened through Instagram, including the links you've clicked.
Choose Delete Browsing Data to remove all data of links clicked on Instagram. Now, you'll notice all ads on your Instagram will be different from before; they'll return to default as the system no longer has your data to suggest ads.
