I just Googled on this and came across this forum. Actually, for Android phones you don’t have to log out. Simply go to your profile, click the three dots, select ‘Clear Search History’ and done. Pretty simple.

Just found this: “I had this problem, so follow these steps i used to fix it. Open instagram from a computer, then right click in the search bar, click inspect element, press on resources, go to cookies, open it then right click on instagram and press clear, then do the same for facebook. Should it have any effect on ur instagram account. Hope this was helpful”
مهدی says
this way doesn’t clear every thing like auto fill and pages
the only way to clear everything in android phone is to go this way:
open Application manager
open Inatagram
then start to clear everything
1. Clear defaults
2. Clear cache
3. Clear data
then uninstall Instagram and Install it again
now you have cleared very well
