How to Delete All Chats in Instagram

Deleting chats on Instagram helps keep your inbox clean. If you want to delete all chats in Instagram, follow these simple steps.

Why Delete Instagram Chats?

• Free up space in your inbox.
• Remove old or unwanted conversations.
• Maintain privacy by clearing chat history.

How to Delete All Chats in Instagram

Method 1: Delete Chats One by One

1. Open Instagram and go to your Direct Messages (DM) by tapping the messenger icon.
2. Swipe left on the chat you want to delete.
3. Tap “Delete” and confirm.
4. Repeat for all chats until your inbox is empty.

This method works but takes time if you have many chats.

Method 2: Use Instagram’s “Unsend” Feature

1. Open a chat in Instagram.
2. Tap and hold the message you want to remove.
3. Select “Unsend” to delete it.
4. Repeat for all messages in the chat.

Note: Unsending removes messages only for you unless done within the time limit.

Method 3: Archive Chats (Hide Without Deleting)

1. Go to your Instagram DMs.
2. Swipe left on a chat and tap “Archive”.
3. The chat will be hidden but not deleted.
4. To view archived chats, go to Settings > Privacy > Messages > Archived Chats.

Can You Delete All Instagram Chats at Once?

Instagram does not have a “delete all chats” button. You must delete them one by one or archive them.

How to Permanently Delete Instagram Messages

• Delete chats manually (as shown above).
• Log out and clear cache (Settings > Security > Clear Search History).
• Deactivate your account (this removes all data after 30 days).
