Instagram now allows you to see all the links you’ve visited through its built-in web browser.
This feature is launched to enable users to revisit links they’ve opened previously, as their search history isn’t catalogued in their main browser’s history.
Below is how you can easily access links visited on Instagram.
- Launch the Instagram app on your iPhone or Android device
- Click on your display picture by the bottom-right corner
- Tap the three-line menu icon and select “Activity” from the options
- You’ll find all the links you’ve clicked on Instagram under the “Links” tab. You can tap any link to revisit the web page.
- If you want to hide a link, then long-press on the link and select “HIDE“
- There’s also a hide history link at the top that lets you hide the complete history of visited links on the “Your Activity” Page.
While the above action is irreversible, you can still get a list of visited links by downloading a copy of your Instagram data.
Note: Hiding the link won’t clear your history from Instagram servers. it will only hide it from your profile. Facebook/Instagram can continue to use it for personalizing your ads on its group of social apps.
You can also clear the cache saved in the Instagram in-built browser by navigating to Settings > Account > Browser Settings > Now “Clear”.
The above step will clear the saved cookies and the cache generated by all the web pages you’ve viewed on Instagram.
That’s all.
