HOW TO REMOVE YOUR INSTAGRAM IMAGES AND VIDEOS FROM GOOGLE SEARCH

Your Instagram photos, images and videos may appear in Google search results if you’ve logged into your account using a web viewer, a third party Instagram gallery app, Instagram Content Aggregation tool or app which authorises these third party services to let search engines index your Instagram Content.

These third-party sites have been created with Instagram API and are not affiliated with Instagram directly.

If you don’t want your photos or videos to appear on Google, we suggest revoking access to the third-party website or setting your account to private. It may take some time for these third party sites and Google to reindex and remove your Instagram photos, images and videos, even if you delete your account.

Solution

Login to your instagram account and visit this page and revoke third party access. https://www.instagram.com/accounts/manage_access/

If you need to contact the app that’s displaying your photographs on Google to expedite the process, here are links to support pages for popular third-party services utilizing Instagram API:

Google may remove images if they contain sensitive personal information, like a credit card number or a picture of your signature, or if the images are revenge porn.” The Removal Policies explain what types of images may be removed. If the image you want to remove is covered in Google’s Removal Policies, ask Google to remove the image from Google search results. If you believe the image should be removed from Google’s search results for legal reasons, visit Google’s legal removals page.
