Introducing Archive on Profile

Today we’re introducing Archive, a new feature that lets you move posts you’ve previously shared into a space that’s visible only to you.

Your profile is a representation of who you are and evolves with you over time. With Archive, you now have more flexibility to shape your profile while still preserving moments that matter.

To archive a post you’ve already shared, tap “…” at the top of the post and choose “Archive.” You’ll still be able to see it when you tap the Archive icon in the top right corner of your profile. That way, you can always revisit these posts and see previous likes and comments from friends. If you change your mind about a post you’ve archived, tap “Show on Profile” at any time and it’ll show up in its original spot.

With this update, you now have a space just for you, where you can revisit moments without having to keep them all on your profile.

These updates are available as part of Instagram version 10.21 and above for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in Google Play.
