Instagram is one of the best and the most unique social media platforms as compared to other platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. There are a plethora of options on Instagram that make it fun to use but equally annoying to operate.
You can share a post, a story or a reel on Instagram in order to engage and interact with your followers. Sometimes a person may wish to delete all their post from their profile, but doing it one by one might be of huge discomfort, especially if the user has a lot of posts put up on his profile. If a person goes through with the process of deleting all the images or posts one by one on Instagram it is definitely gonna be a time-consuming process.
The Instagram application does not allow a multiple or a mass deletion of posts, images or videos that have been put up on the profile by the user. This is why you can try and find some third party application on the app store that would easily do this job of mass deletion for you. If you want to use a third-party app, you can download that particular application first.
It is recommended that you use a temporary password for your safety and then log in from the application. Once you have logged in to your Instagram account from the third-party application, you can mass select the posts and then press ‘Delete All’. However, most of these third-party applications have been removed from the Google Play Store owing to security concerns and hence you cannot use them anymore.
There are a lot of other options you can try in order to hide all the posts from your Instagram account. There is also the option of archiving all your posts from Instagram. In order to delete all the posts from your Instagram account, follow the procedure mentioned below.
