Where to Find Instagram Search History

Unlike some other platforms, Instagram does not have a dedicated page or area for user search history. The previous searches are logged and they are made available at the time of a new search the user will perform. This may make it tricky for some users to find their old searches.

Now, let's see how to find the search history on Instagram mobile app with the help of the following steps.

STEP 1: Start Instagram App

Grab your mobile phone (or tablet) and start Instagram app by tapping on its icon.

This will open the Instagram app and display the home page of the app where you will see posts and photos from the profiles you are following. Note that I will be using a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini for demonstration purposes in this tutorial but since the app interface are the same for Android devices, I believe you will have no issues following my instructions and screenshots below.

STEP 2: Open Search & Explore Page

Tap the Search & Explore icon at the bottom of the Instagram home page.

This will open the Search & Explore page with a collection of popular photos, where you can perform searches, find interesting Instagram profiles to follow, and explore what the Instagram community has to offer.

STEP 3: Tap Search Box

At the top of the Search & Explore page, you will see the Search box, with a magnifying glass icon and Search text. Tap on the Search box to bring the focus of the cursor to it. This is also how you make a search on Instagram.

Once you tap on the Search box, the photos will disappear and the search results from your previous search will appear. For example, in the screenshot below, some of the hashtags that I recently searched for and visited their related pages are displayed
