How To Archive Instagram Post?

Wondering if you should delete or archive older Instagram posts? Looking for a smart strategy to clean up your profile?

Discover the difference between deleting and archiving an Instagram feed post or story, what happens when you archive an Instagram post, and when to use each option.

Why Archive Instagram Posts?-
If you want to remove posts from your Instagram profile, should you archive or delete them? Almost always, you’ll want to archive them.

The reason is that when you delete an Instagram post, you lose all of that important post data and there’s no way to restore that post or those metrics. When you archive an Instagram post, though, not only is it hidden from the public but you also retain your data.

An archived post still contributes to your overall account performance and you can still see that individual post’s performance for all of the different engagement metrics.

1: 3 Types of Instagram Posts You May Want to Archive

Which Instagram posts should you consider archiving? Here are three great candidates:

  • Old [contest or giveaway] posts that have expired and are no longer active
  • Content or profiles for employees who no longer work at your company
  • Outdated product or info posts, maybe from a [seasonal campaign]

Archiving these posts will allow you to hide the content from your audience but retain valuable data.
