To clear Instagram chat history, open the Instagram app and navigate to your Direct Messages. Select the conversation you want to delete, then tap on the information icon (i) at the top-right corner. Scroll down and select 'Delete Chat' or 'Delete Conversation.' Confirm your choice to erase the chat history permanently. Note, this action removes the chat only from your account; the other person in the conversation will still have access to it. Always think twice before deletion, as this action is irreversible.
