Top 5 Hidden Instagram Hacks, Tips, and Features

1. Add and manage multiple accounts from the same device.

Do you've a separate account for your dog? Don't be embarrassed; stand by your puppy profile. Whether it's a pet account or a business account, you can add and manage that account right alongside your personal account.

Here's how:

1.From your profile, tap the gear icon. To find this icon on an Android device, you'll first need to tap the three horizontal lines to the top right of your screen.
2.Scroll to the very bottom and tap "Add Account."
3.Add your other account by username and password, and you're all set.

To toggle between both profiles, hold down your profile picture in the navigation bar to view all connected accounts. You can also switch to a different account through the Settings page mentioned earlier. See what this screen looks like in the next Instagram feature, below.

2. See all the posts you've liked.

Ever wanted to see the posts you've liked in a single place? Just go to your own profile and click the "Settings" button in the top right corner - a gear icon on iPhone/iPad and three dots on Android - then click "Account" and finally "Posts you've liked"

To un-Like any of the posts you've Liked, simply go to the post and deselect the "heart" icon below it. Don't worry — the user won't be notified that you've un-Liked the post.

3. Hide, delete, or disable comments on your posts.

To Filter Comments by Keyword:

In the Instagram mobile app, navigate to "Options" and select "Comments." From here, you can toggle on "Hide Inappropriate Comments" and even enter specific keywords you'd like the app to police within each comment.

To Delete Comments:

Tap the speech bubble icon below the comment you'd like to delete, and swipe lightly to the left over this text. Select the garbage can icon that appears to delete this post. You can also do this to your own comments.

To Disable Comments Entirely:

To clarify, you can't turn off comments across your entire profile; you can only disable them for individual posts. To do so, start posting an image on which you'd like nobody to comment. When you reach the page to add a caption, tags, and location, tap "Advanced Settings" at the very bottom. This will open a screen where you can easily switch on an option labeled "Turn Off Commenting."

4. Clear your Instagram search history:

To delete your Instagram search history, go to your own profile and click the Settings button (a gear icon on iPhone/iPad and three dots on Android). Scroll down and click on "Security":

Then, select "Clear Search History" at bottom of the screen, and then confirm by clicking the blue link, "Clear Search History".



5.Optimize your Instagram bio to appear in the Explore tab:

Your friends, family and colleagues may be your first group of Instagram followers, but growing your audience requires more than the people you already know. One important way to do this is to have your profile appear on Instagram's Explore page.

By tagging your posts with these words, you can show your content to people searching these topics. But you can also use these words in your Instagram name and bio to promote your profile.
