We all have those photos we don't want others to see on our Instagram page but can't necessarily remove them. Such embarrassing pictures cause a lot of banter on Instagram.

The photo sharing app has finally offered a solution other than deleting the pictures. They have added a feature that lets you archive your posts - letting you hide certain pictures from your profile.

Testing was started last month on some users but the feature was publicly launched on Tuesday for both iOS and Android versions of the app.

To archive a photo or video that you’ve posted, simply tap “…” and then press “Archive” from the list of options.




In order to view your archived content, tap the new circular arrow symbol on the top right of your page.

In case you change your mind and want to make an archive content viewable, hit the Archive's circular arrow symbol and select “show on profile".
