How to hide photos on Instagram without deleting them

Sometimes I look at a photo and think, "Huh, that one's actually not bad...I'm going to post it."

I'll see that photo a few weeks or months down the line and say to myself, "This is terrible." Why did I post this?

I move to remove it, but before I hit the button, I think, "what if I miraculously end up liking this again later on?" Someday, I will stop caring that this photo is terrible and wish I had posted it anyways because it has sentimental value.

1. You can find the photo you want to remove on your account.

2. There are three dots in the upper right corner of the photo.

This will show you all your posts and stories from the past.

You can find your "Archive" in your profile menu.
