A few months ago, Instagram launched a new functionality that allows us to archive and unarchive the publications we have on this well-known social network. In this way, it is not necessary to delete them to hide them from our followers. We can only see them. It is true that, for that, we could directly delete the publication. However, the archive option is much more interesting than the delete option.
The action of deleting a post is permanent and irreversible. In other words, all the "Likes", all the "Comments" and all the statistics generated by that publication will be lost. On the other hand, if we decide to archive them, all the data related to it will not be deleted. In addition, we can even unarchive them so that they appear again in our feed.
So, next, we are going to tell you how to archive an Instagram post. We'll also go over how to find our archived posts, and of course, how to unarchive them so they reappear on our Instagram.
How to archive a photo on Instagram
To archive an Instagram photo, we just have to click on the icon located on the far right to enter our account. Once here we choose the photo that we want to archive and click on the three points located in the upper right part.
In doing so we will see a new menu with some options. Among them we have available the option " Archive ". Click on it and voila, we already have that publication archived.
How to unarchive a photo on Instagram
To unarchive a photo on Instagram we must enter the Archived section. To do this, click on the icon of our account and then on the clock icon that we have in the upper right. Here we will see all the publications that we have archived.
We choose the image that we want to unarchive and click on the three points that we have in the upper right part of the image. Two new options will appear. We must choose the option "Show in profile" to unarchive the publication and make it appear again in our Instagram feed.
If you have had an Instagram account for many years, you may want to archive a post that no longer fits the current style of your account. The Archive option allows us to have our account with updated content. Remember, it's always better to archive than delete posts.
