Instagram Save feature helps users bookmark and organize posts they find interesting and want to revisit later. However, if you have saved a large number of posts over time, managing them can become challenging. Although you can unsave posts individually, navigating through each post individually can be a time-consuming and tedious process, especially with a huge collection. So, is there a way to delete all saved posts on Instagram at once, and if so, then how can you do it? Read on to find out more!
How to Remove All Saved Posts on Instagram
Sometimes, posts saved long ago no longer hold relevance or are necessary to keep. In such cases, cleaning up the collections help organize your saved posts and start afresh. But the process is tricky when it comes to deleting all of them at once.
On iOS, you can select all the posts in a single tap and unsave them. On Android, Instagram does not provide a direct feature to delete all the saved posts in one tap. However, you can choose them individually from the collection and then unsave them at once.
Follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Open Instagram and on the profile page, tap on the three horizontal lines icon at the top-right corner.
2. Tap on Saved from the menu.
3. Open the default All posts collection and tap on the three vertical dots icon at the top-right corner.
4. Tap on Select.
5. Tap on Unsave.
Now all the posts you have selected will be deleted.
