How to turn your link history in Instagram on or off
This feature is being introduced globally over time and may not be available in your location. Link history is available on the Instagram app for Android and iPhone.
Link history is a list of websites you’ve visited on Instagram’s in-app mobile browser in the last 30 days.
Link history is off by default until you choose to turn it on. You can turn this setting on or off at any time. When link history is on, any links you’ve tapped inside of Instagram and visited in Instagram’s in-app mobile browser will be saved in your link history for 30 days.
Note: Links visited in chats on Instagram are not saved to link history.
Keep in mind that when link history is on, we may use link history information from Instagram’s in-app mobile browser to improve your ads across Meta technologies. Learn more about how we use information in our Privacy Policy.

Note: When you turn link history off, we will immediately clear your link history, and you will no longer be able to see any links you’ve visited.

When you turn link history off, it may take Meta up to 90 days to complete the deletion process. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
