Instagram released its Archive feature in June, but you might not know what it's for or how to use it. Archive lets you hide photos and videos from your profile without completely deleting them.

That way, you don’t have to delete posts that you might want to resurrect later. To keep a handle on your pics of Instagram past, you’ll need to know how to view your archived Instagram posts.

Hide posts you’re not ready to delete with Instagram’s simple and effective archive tool.

Instagram archives your stories after 24 hours, but you can still see and reshare them from your profile.

For anybody with similar anxieties about such things, you'll be thrilled to know Instagram gives you an option to remove photos from your timeline without permanently deleting them.
