Instagram Tips and Tricks You Should Know

Hide tagged photos

In instagram we have a separate tab which saves in all the picture that we are tagged in and everyone will be able to see it. So in case you don’t like a photo that you are tagged in to stay there in your profile, you can simply hide the picture from that tab and thereby no one will be able to see them.
To do this, you have to open the picture and tap on the three dots on the top and select ‘hide posts’. Boom.! The picture would be gone. 

Archive posts

Did you ever know that you can archive a post of yours, which would literally hide that one post from your followers or public. In which case you doesn’t have to delete the post. So if you feel that the post doesn’t combine well with the other posts, then archive it and if you want it back you can allow it back into your feed.


When you archive the post will be safe under the archived post visible only for you. Just click on the three dots above your post and there you’ll have the archive option.

Collections and saved photos

This is also an amazing feature, where you will be able to save pictures of others by simply clicking on the save flag icon available on the bottom of every pictures. You can do this when you like a picture and want to save it to see them later on. You can literally collect pictures of others by saving them and create an album in your saved posts tab.

Convert your profile into a business profile which will reach more people. And also you can view your stats and demographic, check out your engagement with public and so on. You can easily get your profile converted. Firstly go to your profile >settings > switch to business accounts. That’s it. Simple as that.


Save edits as drafts

Something we start on to edit a picture in the instagram to post it directly, but then changes the mind to not post it now, either to wait for later time or to check out for something. So in that case, the when we go back all the edit we did would just go away and we will have to do it all over again in the old version but now you can save the edited picture as drafts and post it later when you wish. Which is quite a good change over.


This can be done by pressing the ‘back’ button after editing and then a message will pop up asking whether you want to save the pic as draft. Then press ‘save as draft’ and that’s it.

Checking out for the liked pictures

Have you ever wanted to check for a picture you liked and couldn’t remember in who posted it or any such detail and so is in sadness that you couldn’t find that particular picture? Well, now you can check for all the pictures that you have liked in instagram. You can find this option down in the settings tab as ‘posts you have liked’. Tap it and take a look at all the pictures you liked.
