Keep In Mind

Have you ever wished to hide some of your Instagram photos without deleting them? Well, good news – you can! When you archive photos on Instagram, they become hidden from your public profile, so your followers won’t stumble upon them accidentally.

  • But here’s the best part – they’re not gone forever! You can still access them whenever you want. Just follow these simple steps to revisit your archived goodies.
  • What about the likes and comments on those photos? Don’t worry, they stay put. Any likes and comments your photo received before archiving will still be there when you view it in the archive.
  • And if you ever change your mind, bringing those photos back is a breeze. You can easily un-archive a photo and return it to your profile feed whenever you feel like it.
  • So there you have it – a handy way to manage your Instagram content without losing anything permanently. Happy archiving!

Here are some things to keep in mind about Archive

  • Only you can see your archived photos, not your followers.
  • Archived photos still retain their likes and comments.
  • You can un-archive a photo at any time to bring it back to your profile feed.
