Instagram has a feature to remember your Login details. It allows you to log in to your account with just a single tap without entering your account details. However, it is an optional feature and the app needs your permission to remember your login info.
The ability to login into your account without filling in the details is quite useful, but it can also cause problems. For example, anyone can access your Instagram account by simply tapping your profile picture on your phone. So, under certain conditions, this feature can also endanger your privacy.
Read along if you have a remembered Instagram account and you want to remove it from your device.

Step 4: Select Settings.
Step 5: Tap Security.
Step 6: Now, under the Login Security section, tap Saved login info.

Step 8: A confirmation box will then pop up. Tap Remove.
Step 9: Now, return back to the Settings page.
Step 10: Scroll down to the bottom and tap Log Out ‘your-username’.
