This wikiHow will teach you how to unlike all of the Instagram posts you have ever liked with your account. There's no super-fast way to do this--you'll have to unlike each post manually. Fortunately, Instagram saves a list of all of your liked posts, so you won't have to visit a bunch of different profiles to cover your tracks. You'll need to do this on your phone or tablet, as there's no way to view your liked posts in the web version of Instagram.
