Hidden Instagram Hacks and Features

Get notifications when your favorite people post.

Never want to miss an Instagram post from your favorite influencers again? You can choose to get a notification every time a specific user posts a new photo. All you have to do is turn on notifications for each user individually.

To turn on these notifications, visit a user's profile, click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the post, and choose "Turn on Post Notifications" from the menu that appears.

Clear your search history

Make sure no one ever finds out that you’ve been hunting for photos of “Mr Clean shirt off” by wiping your Instagram search history squeaky clean.

How to do it:

  1. Go to your profile
  2. Open the hamburger menu in the top right corner
  3. Tap Settings
  4. Tap Security
  5. Scroll to the bottom, then tap Clear Search History or Search 6. History

To Add a Special Font to Your Bio via Mobile

Add a new font to your Instagram bio via your mobile device using a website like https://exoticfonts.com/. Open the site on your phone, type your desired bio text in the lefthand text box, and you'll see the same bio text in different typefaces appear on the right.
