• Log in to your Instagram account and go to your profile section.
• Tap on the Settings option.
• Click on the privacy options available in the dropdown.
• Enable the toggle to On mode and switch to a private account.

Is it time to clean up your feed?

But you don’t want to delete your photos forever?

2. Press the three dots “…”

Press on the three dots that are on the top right corner of your post.

3. Select “Archive”

That’s it! You’re done!

Now, what if you want to unhide the post?

How to unhide the post?

Open your Archive folder. On the new Instagram design, you have to press on the “Open Archive” button, under your bio. On the old Instagram design, you need to press that little “clock” button on the top left corner of your screen:

Select the post and press on the three dots “…”:

Select “Show on profile”:

Your Instagram post will reappear where it used to be in your feed, before you hid it. It will not appear at the beginning of your feed, like a brand new post would.

That’s it!
