How to delete Instagram search suggestions on Android and iPhone. When it comes to our digital lives, we generally all like to keep things private. It could be something as trivial as deleting your Netflix viewing history  or something significant like  deleting your Google search history  .

Simply put, we rarely take risks when it comes to our online avatars and the same can be said about our Instagram search history as well.

Now, if you're only using your phone, there isn't much difference. But if sometimes, you have to give it to your colleagues, your  search patterns can reveal a  lot about you. And sometimes, search suggestions can be a bit embarrassing. Yes, and that includes your Instagram searches too. Sometimes search patterns can be a bit embarrassing.

Congratulations! You have successfully deleted your Instagram search history.

However, once you start searching again, the search suggestion will begin to complete again. Therefore, you may have to do this activity regularly, depending on how much you search on Instagram. So, although deleting the Instagram search suggestion is easy, it is a bit boring because you would have to do it every so often.

Talking about cleaning and cleaning brings to my mind another useful feature of Instagram: Collections. This  Instagram feature  allows you to organize your marked images into lovely little albums.

From now on, whenever you need to  add an Instagram image   to a collection, just tap the Bookmark icon and choose Save to collection. 

Select the Collection and go. See, simple.  I consider this feature to be particularly useful when I have to refer to a particular image later.

Therefore, this is how you can keep both your Instagram search history and your account clean. However, when you delete the search history, the suggested accounts are not deleted when you tap the Search tab. They will continue to show depending on who you interact with most.

This is not even close to the right answer
Nobody asked anything even remotely close to this. Flat out useless answer that holds no relevance to the question. Extremely annoying and childish
