How to View Links You’ve Clicked on Instagram

We often click on links while browsing on Instagram. Be it a targeted ad or a link from someone’s profile, story, or post. Sometimes we need those links again, but as the links open in apps inbuilt web viewer, it won’t appear in your browser history.

Luckily with Instagram, you can easily get those links back. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Instagram is not that link-friendly. But they do keep track of all the links you’ve clicked on the app.

Moreover, you also can hide a specific link or everyone at once. If you are also in need of some links you’ve clicked before. Follow this article to know exactly how you can find them.
