There are two methods: hiding it from your story, or hiding it from everyone. The first option is the most obvious. It hides the post from your story, but if you don&#8217;t want it to be seen by everyone, you should choose the second one. Hide it from the beginning of your feed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_hide_a_post_from_certain_followers_on_instagram\"><\/span>Can you hide a post from certain followers on instagram?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may wonder if it&#8217;s possible to hide a post from certain followers on Instagram. In short, yes. You can turn your account private or archive your posts if you want to hide them from a specific group of people. But you can&#8217;t hide a post from all followers. To do this, you&#8217;ll need to change the privacy settings on your Instagram account. In the Privacy Settings, you&#8217;ll find a tab called &#8220;Hide from&#8221; and click &#8220;Hide from&#8221; next to the people who don&#8217;t want to see your posts.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve deleted a post from your account, you can choose to archive it instead. This will make it private for that person&#8217;s followers and will not appear in their feeds. But you can still access the post later by opening the &#8220;Archive&#8221; menu or refreshing the page. However, you&#8217;ll have to manually request followers again before your post will reappear on their timelines.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Settings_to_hide_a_post_on_instagram\"><\/span>Settings to hide a post on instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may wonder if you can turn off the visibility of your likes on Instagram. Well, the good news is that you can. You can change your settings in the &#8220;Advanced&#8221; tab. This is the same option that allows you to hide posts from other users. You may also use this setting to hide your post&#8217;s likes after posting it. If you&#8217;d rather keep your photos private, you can also make them private.<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to hide a post on Instagram. First, you can archive it. This will mean that no one can see it, except for those who follow you. In addition, you won&#8217;t be able to see the post if you&#8217;ve blocked other users or unfollowed people. But if you&#8217;re not sure about a particular post, you can archive it instead. To do this, go to the post&#8217;s page, click the three dots in the upper right corner, and then choose &#8220;Archive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_post_from_your_timeline\"><\/span>Hide a post from your timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to hide a post from your Instagram timeline, you have two options. You can archive the post to make it private or you can make it public. In both cases, you must log in as an admin of your profile. You can view a guide for moderation mode on Instagram&#8217;s website. Once you&#8217;ve completed these steps, you can remove the post from your Instagram timeline. You can then make it public again.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have completed this step, you&#8217;re all set to hide your post. However, this isn&#8217;t foolproof. Your old posts are still visible to people who don&#8217;t follow you. To permanently hide a post from your timeline, click on the three dots icon in the top-right corner of your Instagram account. Click &#8220;Hide post from timeline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_post_from_your_story\"><\/span>Hide a post from your story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might want to hide a post on Instagram for several reasons. For example, you might not want your followers to see your latest trip to the beach. Or maybe you&#8217;d rather not share that embarrassing video of your dog&#8217;s poop with a group of strangers. Either way, you can hide the post from your story and share it only with your closest followers. Here are a few ways to hide your post from others.<\/p>\n<p>The first way to hide a post on Instagram is to select the person you want to keep hidden. If you hide the post from a specific person, they won&#8217;t see it until you update your story. This way, they can&#8217;t see your story for several hours. However, they will see your profile and your posts. You won&#8217;t lose any followers. However, they won&#8217;t know they&#8217;ve been hidden.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"286\" width=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ItkxlG3H_vU\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hide a Post on Instagram If you want to hide a post on Instagram from a certain group of followers, you need to know how to do it.
