Over the years, there has been a tremendous increase in Instagram’s daily users. Due to this, Instagram has added many different features to its platform. One of the features added to Instagram is the ability to Archive Instagram posts. This feature does come in handy, especially in managing your account.
We have all been there – we delete our Instagram posts, but in a couple of days, we wish to repost them. Instagram makes that very easy. But sometimes, we would like to mass archive our posts but have no clue how to do it.
Mass archiving can only be done using third-party apps, as Instagram does not support this feature. The best tool we have found is “Click Assistant – Auto Clicker.” You can find the step-by-step solution below.
In this article, we will first discuss the archive feature on Instagram, then give you a tutorial to archive posts and move on to mass archiving. Finally, we will also provide you with a way to unarchive posts on Instagram. Let’s Dive in!
What Is Instagram Archive?
Occasionally everyone changes their mind about things they post. Unfortunately, making up their mind about a particular post seems very hard for some.
Sometimes, the post is so good, and you never know when it will catch your fancy again. So, deleting this said post is not an option.
However, the Instagram archive option will provide the solution to your dilemma. Using this feature, you can temporarily remove a post and hide it from your page, then put it back when you change your mind – the perfect solution for the indecisive among us. Isn’t that just incredible?
This innovative tool helps you move some of your not relevant-at-the-moment posts to a part of your profile that is only accessible to you. In addition, you get to remove posts without deleting them and restoring them whenever you want.
It can also come in handy when sharing memories and increasing engagement on your post; plus, it gives you complete control over your post. Although archiving a post is done manually, you can automatically set your stories to archive after 24 hours.
