Instagram is a popular social media platform for sharing photos and videos, and it is available for every commonly used platform, including phones (iOS, Android, and Windows), desktop computers, iPads, and browsers.

Because there are so many platforms to use Instagram on, you may have logged in to your account in a variety of places and devices, such as on a friend's computer or on one of your lost phones. As a result, there could be multiple Instagram sessions in various locations that you are unaware of.

Now, if you have an Instagram app installed on your phone and are logged in, you can view and delete all of your Instagram login histories. Instagram contains a lot of your personal information, which you should protect by viewing anonymous login and clearing this login and logout details.
