How to hide photos on Instagram without deleting them

Every now and then the photos we have posted in the past on Instagram embarrass us. At a certain moment in our life they made sense, then maybe they mostly lost it. Or we are refreshing the profile and – in all honesty – that poorly photographed plate of pasta three years ago just has nothing to do with it, nor that lopsided landscape of a forgotten vacation who knows where. However, we do not want to cancel them, and in the end it would be an excessive choice. On the social controlled by Facebook there is a temporary solution, a happy medium: archive.

Archiving a post will remove it from your bulletin board, so it will no longer be visible to others, but will still remain available for any future rethinking, available in a specific section. In short, a very different choice compared to dry cancellation.

Proceeding in this direction is very simple: you need to find the photo you want to remove from the profile by scrolling through your timeline, click on the three-dot menu at the top right and select the second item that comes out, which is precisely Archive. Warning: the system will not ask for confirmation of the action but the photo or video will be immediately hidden. For retrieve it later you need to go to the general menu of your Instagram profile, access the archive of posts (there is also the one of the stories where all those expired after 24 hours end), click again on the three-dot menu and select Show in profile. That way, the content will be pushed back into the public content grid.
