Preliminary information

If you’re wondering if it’s possible to see old Instagram bios, even older ones, you’ll be glad to know the answer is positive. In fact, by accessing the settings of your profile and selecting the Access data option, you can view numerous information associated with your account, such as the registration date, the history of passwords, email addresses and telephone numbers used on Instagram. and many other data.

Among the available information, you can see all the biographies used on the famous social network and retrieve both the text entered in the Biography field of your profile and any links added in the Website section.

Finally, I would like to point out that this feature is available not only for “normal” Instagram profiles but also for business accounts. It is not possible, however, to delete old biographies: if your intention is to delete all the bio and related links associated with your profile, the only solution available to you is to delete the Instagram profile. Is everything clear so far? Well, then let’s take action.

How to see the old Instagram bio from the app

The procedure to see the old Instagram bio from the app is quick and easy. All you have to do is access the main screen of your profile through the Instagram application for Android or iOS, press on the option to change its settings and access the security section.

So take your smartphone or tablet, start the Instagram app by tapping its icon and, if you haven’t done so yet, log in to your account. Then enter your login credentials in the Phone number, username or email and Password fields and press the Login button. Alternatively, if you have connected Instagram to Facebook, tap on Login with Facebook and press the Continue button as [name], to access your account.

Now, press the little man icon located in the bottom menu and, on the main screen of your profile, tap the ☰ button, at the top right. From the menu that appears, select the Settings option, press on the Security item and, on the Protection screen, locate the Data and history section.

At this point, simply tap on the entry data access and, in the section Account information, you can see your birth date, the date of registration to Instagram and the history of changes for certain data associated with your account, such as passwords, email address, phone number and account privacy.

To see all the biographies you have used on Instagram, instead, locate the Profile information section and press on the View all option related to the Previous bio texts item. In the new screen displayed you will find, from the most recent to the oldest, all the texts that you have entered in the Biography section of your profile.

If you are also interested in viewing the links you added in the bio (exactly in the Website field ) of your profile, access the Access data and Account information sections again and tap on the View all item relating to the Previous links in the bio option.

How do you say? Would you like to reuse a previous bio? If so, I’m sorry to tell you that there isn’t some feature that allows you to automatically set an old bio as your current bio. However, you can copy the one you are interested in, press the left arrow icon to return to the Protection screen, and tap the little man icon in the bottom menu.

On the screen relating to your profile, click on the Edit profile button, tap on your current biography (or on the Biography item if you have not set one), paste the text copied just now and click on the Finish button to save the changes and reuse an old bio.

In the same way you can also proceed to insert an old link in the Website field of your account. In this regard, my guide on how to edit Instagram bio may be useful.

How to see old Instagram bio on a computer

How do you say? Would you like to know how old Instagram bio’s are viewed on a computer? In this case, you will be happy to know that the procedure is almost identical to the one I indicated in the previous lines of this guide. Even from a computer, in fact, just access your account settings and select the security option.

To proceed, open the Instagram application for Windows 10 or connect to the main page of the official website of the social network and, if you have not already done so, log in to your account. To do this, enter your details in the Phone number, username or email and Password fields and click on the Login button. If, on the other hand, you have registered to Instagram using your Facebook account, select the login with Facebook option and click on Continue as [name].

At this point, click on your photo, at the top right, and choose the Settings option from the menu that appears. In the new screen that appears, click on Privacy and Security (in the left sidebar), locate the Account data section and click on the Graphic organizer option.

In the new page opened, you can immediately view some information related to your account, such as the date of registration and your date of birth. In addition, there are several sections that allow you to retrieve the history of passwords (Password changes ), email addresses ( Previous email addresses ) and phone numbers ( Previous phone numbers ) that, since you joined Instagram, you have associated with your account.

To see the bio that you have entered in the appropriate section of your account, locate the item Profile information, click on the option View all relating to the item Previous bio texts and, in the new open page, you will find the complete list of all the biographies you’ve used on Instagram, in chronological order (the most recent bio are displayed at the top).

Then press on the Edit profile item displayed in the left sidebar and paste the biography you just copied in the Biography field (or in the Website field, in the case of a link). Finally, click on the Submit button to save the changes. The game is done!
