Instagram is one of the fastest-growing go-to places for young users. As they follow celebrities from Hollywood and Television, they leave behind their trail – search history. Even as they forget what they searched last night, their Instagram search bar quickly shows what they searched when they tap on that blank space. An intelligent move is to clear that Instagram search history on your iPhone or Android phone before you hand it over to others.
