Steps to deleting your IGTV history

An option to delete all of your IGTV videos history does not exist. But, there is an alternative way that will help you remove those kinds of videos from your history. Let’s start.

You will have to open up the Instagram app on your device. After it has been opened, navigate yourself to the Instagram IGTV section. You should be able to see one of the currently most popular IGTV videos playing in the background there, but, in front of it, a few different tabs are going to be displayed to you. The last tab there is the History tab, so, click on it in order to open up your IGTV history. After you have clicked on that, you should be able to see the videos that you have recently watched show up right away on your screen. Now, what you need to do is to click on some video and open it. When that video opens up, find the three-dotted button there and click on that too. You are going to be opening up a small menu. Find the See fewer posts like this option and click on it. The video is going to be removed from your history right away. You have to repeat this process for every video in your IGTV history.
