If you dare

Think back to a time before social media was what it is today, when the biggest decision of your teenage life was what MSN handle to use and you became a bit of a coding whizz thanks to the hours spent creating the perfect MySpace page.

Now, imagine revisiting all of the things you wrote/shared/commented on all those years ago. Ah, yes, we do have that – Facebook memories. The unwelcome appearance of the wall-to-wall messages you used to leave so publicly back in the day, the ones that give you a fright when you're already dealing with Monday dread.

But we're talking more about the way you used to describe yourself when carving out your digital personality – like quotes, lyrics, and emojis spelling out your relationship status.

While we can't take you on a trip down memory lane to MSN or MySpace (mainly because who even remembers their log in details for either?), we can reveal that there's a way to find out what your old Instagram bios used to be, and it's really simple.

That's right – if you're keen to find out what you thought would make you sound edgy and interesting back when the app launched in 2010, the knowledge is right at your fingertips.

Twitter user @Morgan_McGuire2 shared how to find all of your old Instagram bios – just incase you want a cringey reminder.

'If you want a giggle do this… Go to insta/Settings/Security/Access data/Former bio texts. It will show you anything and everything you have ever set ur bio to and it is cringy and funny asf,' she tweeted.
