Instagram introduced its archive feature in mid-2017 after testing it several months earlier. It will automatically move back to your grid, showing in date order and containing all of its likes and comments.

To move an archived post back to your grid, select the relevant archived post and select the option to ‘Show on profile’. Click on the post option to see all your archived posts. It has a drop-down menu for you to access either posts or Stories. You can find archived Instagram posts by going to your Instagram profile and clicking on the three lines at the top right of your account and clicking on Archive. Your post will disappear from your Instagram grid but the post and its insights are kept in the archive, where only you can see them. To archive a post, click the three dots on the top right of the post and click the second option – to archive. The first step is to learn how to archive Instagram posts. One of the best ways you can do that is by regularly curating your feed using the archive Instagram post feature: here’s a step-by-step guide to archiving posts. You always want your Instagram feed to show clearly what you or your business is about.
