Here are some tips. You can edit or delete your highlights without them knowing. You can also view your viewers&#8217; list after 24 hours. You will have to know the settings of each account. Make sure you use the same password for each account to access the highlights list. But what if you want to hide your highlights from your followers?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_content_to_Instagram_highlights\"><\/span>Adding content to Instagram highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in maximizing your Highlights feature is to create a cover story. Instagram will prompt you to enter a short description of the content of your Highlight Story. This description should reflect your goals for using Instagram. Whether it&#8217;s a quick description of your latest vacation, a funny story, or a new photo, Instagram will accept it. Creating an inconsistent description may look awkward. So, make it as descriptive as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Once your photo or video has received a high number of views, it may be categorized in a Highlight category. Highlighted stories can contain up to 100 photos and videos. Highlighted stories will stay on your profile for 24 hours, unlike regular stories. You can add as many as 100 photos or videos to one category. Highlighted stories will appear in the top of your feed. To delete an old highlight, hold down the &#8220;i&#8221; button until a menu pops up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_highlights_from_followers\"><\/span>Hide highlights from followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a private account on Instagram, you may be wondering how to hide Instagram highlights from followers. The answer is actually quite simple. All you need to do is switch the privacy setting of your account to private. Highlights are added to your Story as stories, and they are only visible to people who follow you on Instagram. To hide your highlights from followers, you can make your profile private by changing the cover image. You can also choose to make your profile private by editing your profile details.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to hide your Highlights from your followers, you need to block them from seeing your Stories. You can also use the highlighter to mark certain passages of your story. However, you should keep in mind that it is possible to block any profile that you don&#8217;t want to see your Stories Highlights. However, it is important to remember that you can still block individual profiles and see previous interactions with them. Hence, it&#8217;s important to select the right option for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_or_deleting_highlights\"><\/span>Editing or deleting highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to delete or edit an Instagram highlight without the person you&#8217;re deleting it from knowing, you should first know how to find your highlight. The highlight is located in your profile page, below your follower numbers and bio. From the &#8220;More&#8221; menu, you can select &#8216;Edit highlight&#8217; to change or remove the highlighted items. If you don&#8217;t want someone to see your edited or deleted highlights, simply uncheck the blue check marks on the highlights.<\/p>\n<p>You can also delete Instagram stories in the highlights section. You can do this by long-pressing on the preview and clicking on &#8216;&#8230;&#8217;. Next, click on &#8216;Delete story&#8217; and confirm your action. The highlights you&#8217;ve deleted will appear in the archive. You can also hide Instagram highlights from other users by tapping the &#8216;x&#8217; icon. This will hide them from others. Then, you can remove the highlights from the archive and keep them private.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Viewing_viewers_list_after_24_hours\"><\/span>Viewing viewers&#8217; list after 24 hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve posted a story on Instagram, you may have noticed that the view count and list of viewers are no longer visible after 24 hours. This change was made after several users expressed their frustration on Twitter. Until now, the highlights feature has only been available to users whose posts are posted within 24 hours. But now, you can see the list of viewers for any post up to 48 hours after posting.<\/p>\n<p>If you post a story to Instagram, you&#8217;ll be able to see how many people have viewed it, including who viewed it. It&#8217;s possible to see the list of viewers for 48 hours after publishing a story. The feature is also available for stories you choose to highlight permanently. This feature is available for up to 48 hours after the story is published. After 24 hours, however, your story will disappear from your highlight page.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"206\" width=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ub-Y2YOShss\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide Instagram Highlights From Followers If you have followers, but don&#8217;t want them to see your Highlights, you can hide them from them.
