To unhide your posts on Instagram, follow these steps:
- Open the Instagram app. Launch the app on your device and log into your account if you aren’t already. Make sure you’re on your profile page by tapping your profile picture icon at the bottom right corner.
- Go to your profile. Tap on your profile picture at the bottom right to access your profile page. You will see all your posts, including any hidden ones if applicable.
- Access the menu options. On your profile, tap the three horizontal lines at the top right corner to open the menu.
- Tap on ‘Archive’. In the menu, select ‘Archive’. By default, Instagram shows your archived posts here. If your hidden posts aren’t visible, they might not be archived, or they could be hidden through privacy settings.
- Switch to ‘Posts Archive’. Tap on the dropdown at the top of the archive page to select ‘Posts Archive’ if not already selected. Your hidden posts, if archived, should appear here as thumbnails.
- Select the post you want to unhide. Tap on the thumbnail to open it.
- Unhide the post. Tap the three-dot menu icon at the top right of the post. From the options, select ‘Show on Profile’. The post will be restored and appear again in your main profile grid.
- Verify your post is visible. Return to your profile view by tapping the back arrow or profile icon. Your post should now be visible among your other posts.
If the post does not appear after un-hiding, check that your account’s privacy settings haven’t restricted its visibility. Remember, posts shared in a private account are only viewable by your approved followers. These steps generally work for posts that are archived and hidden, aiding in managing your profile’s appearance.
By following this process, you can easily unhide posts on Instagram, keeping your profile current or sharing previously hidden content again. Managing your content’s visibility helps maintain your privacy and control over your online presence.
