So you’ve uploaded a photo to Instagram, but now you’ve decided that you may not want that photo out there. You can delete any photo right from within the Instagram iPhone or Android app.
- Open the Instagram, then tap the profile icon that looks like a person at the bottom-right part of the screen. This will bring up photos in your feed.
- Select the photo you wish to delete.
- Tap the three dots
, located at the upper-right corner. This will bring up a menu. - Select “Delete“.
- Confirm the delete, and the photo is removed from the Instagram.
Note: There is currently no way to perform these steps from the Instagram website. It seems you need to delete photos only from the app.

I have a photo that was sent to me via text message and somehow the app picked it up and put it in my gallery. I need to delete it since it’s a document that was scanned and sent and shouldn’t be visible to all. I’ve already deleted it from my phone but it’s still sitting in my gallery!
