Do you have reason to believe that someone knows your account password and has accessed your profile? Fortunately, you can check your Instagram login activity to see who and when was signed in to your account.
In this article, you’ll learn how to examine your Instagram login activity.
Let’s get this party started!
How to check login activity on Instagram?
Follow these steps and you will figure out how you can do it:
- Go to your Instagram profile page.
- Click on the three lines icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
- After that hit the Settings at the bottom of the screen.
- Find and tap the Security section.
- Now press on the Login Activity.
- Here you can view the login activity for your account. If you see any location that is not familiar to you, then click on that location.
- Tap Log out and change your password.
How to Check and Clear Instagram Login Activity
The Instagram app is primarily intended for use on mobile devices. On your iPhone or Android smartphone, follow these simple steps to examine your login activities.
- Log into your Instagram account to open the Home page.
- Click the circle with your profile picture on the bottom right of the app to open your Profile.
- From your profile, click the three horizontal bars on the top right of the app to open a new menu and select Settings.
- Tap on Security in the new menu to open a list of the Instagram security features.
- You will find the Login Activity option under Password. Click Login Activity to open the details of your currently active sessions. Instagram also asks you if it was you or not.
- Under the Was This You? section, you will find maps with the exact location of the login along with the device.
- If you recognize the activity, click on This Was Me, and Instagram will ask you to Confirm the device.
- If the device/location on the map is unknown, click This Wasn’t Me. Since it is a threat that the account might be hacked, Instagram requests a password change as a preventive measure.
- Where You’re Logged In gives you details about your currently active sessions and the devices that accessed the account previously.
- Click on the three dots in front of each session to end undesired active sessions.
You may also verify and clear your login activities on Instagram using your mobile browser. As demonstrated below, that procedure is identical to removing your login activity from a PC.
