What Does It Mean to Unarchive an Instagram Post?

Unarchiving a post means your photo or video is restored to your Instagram profile. Previously, it was only possible for you to view it. Once it is unarchived, it is viewable by anyone (or anyone that follows you in the case of private profiles).

Why Would I Want to Archive or Unarchive a Post?

Archiving a post means you can make something private and solely viewable by you, without deleting it. An archived post still shows all its comments and likes, so you have a full history of what happened when the post was originally published. 

Unarchiving a post can be useful when you decide to restore the post for others to see. For a personal account, it can be so you can show the post to others again. For a business account, it can mean that you can restore a post for a particular time of year such as for Christmas or another special occasion. 

Posts stay archived indefinitely while you own the Instagram account, so you can restore them whenever you want.
