Steps to deleting your IGTV history

The option to delete all of your IGTV video history does not exist. However, there is an alternative way that will help you remove the videos from your history. Let’s start.

You will have to open the Instagram app on your device. Once it has been opened, navigate yourself to the Instagram IGTV section. You should see one of the currently popular IGTV videos playing in the background, but in front of it, a few different tabs will be displayed to you.

The last tab is the History tab; click on it to open up your IGTV history. Once you have clicked on that, you should see the videos you have recently watched show up right away on your screen. Now, what you need to do is to click on a video and open it.

When the video opens up, find the three-dotted button and click on that too. You will open a small menu. Find the See fewer posts like this option and click on it. The video will be removed from your history immediately. You have to repeat this process for every video in your IGTV history.

If you are experiencing problems while trying to delete your IGTV history

Before panicking because your history was not deleted, check to see if you have had Wi-Fi while doing the steps from the first paragraph. If you didn’t, the changes you made would not be saved, and you will have to complete all the steps again.

Exit the Instagram app, delete the most recently used apps tab, and then, after some time, reopen Instagram and do the steps all over again.

You may have to delete the Instagram app’s cache memory from your phone. To do that, you must go to your phone’s Settings and find the Applications section. When you open the Applications section, look for the Instagram app and tap on it to open its preferences and settings. Look for the cache memory on that page and click on it to delete it. You might have to confirm that you are sure that you want to delete that app’s cache, but after that, you are all done.

If you are still unable to delete your IGTV history, you might have to uninstall the Instagram app and install it again after a certain amount of time. After the installation, open the app, log into your account, and try the steps from the first paragraph once again.

If nothing has worked, and you cannot delete your IGTV history, all that is left to do is to contact Instagram’s staff support and tell them about your issue. They will for sure help you, give you more information and some other possible solutions to the problem that you are currently having.
