While Instagram used to be just a photo-sharing platform, it has grown into much more. Highlights can be edited and deleted, as well as hidden. In this article, we&#8217;ll go over how to delete highlights and uncheck the stories that are already in them. Hopefully, this information will help you delete your Instagram highlights and keep your account organized.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edit_or_delete_a_story_from_a_highlight\"><\/span>Edit or delete a story from a highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When using Instagram, you may have wondered if you can edit or delete a story from a highlight. The answer is yes! Instagram has evolved from a simple photo-sharing app to a much more advanced platform that provides a slew of options. In order to edit or delete a story from a highlight, you must first enable the archiving option on your profile. In order to do this, simply click the icon in the lower-right corner of the story. After you do so, you will be prompted to input your username and password.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights are a great way to store your hard-produced story content. Highlights are a great way to save future story content for easy viewing. However, the highlight will not appear in the chronological order of your posts. To avoid having to re-upload stories all the time, Instagram allows users to save the last 100 stories they&#8217;ve published. Once you reach 100 stories in a Highlight, you&#8217;ll receive a notification asking you to delete the oldest Story and add a new one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uncheck_all_stories_in_a_highlight\"><\/span>Uncheck all stories in a highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common mistakes that Instagram users make is adding too many stories to a highlight. There is a way to fix this problem, and it&#8217;s extremely easy. To delete all stories in a highlight, tap the three dots at the bottom of the highlight. Then, select Edit Highlight. In the edit highlight window, click on Stories and select the stories that you want to remove. Once you&#8217;ve finished editing the highlights, click Save and they&#8217;ll be removed.<\/p>\n<p>To delete all stories from your highlights, first, open the story you want to remove. Then, tap &#8216;More&#8217; in the lower-right corner of your screen. This will bring up an overlay menu. Next, tap &#8216;Remove from highlight&#8217;. Once you&#8217;ve completed the process, a confirmation prompt will appear on the screen. When you&#8217;re done, tap &#8216;Remove&#8217; to remove the story from the highlight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_story_from_a_highlight\"><\/span>Delete a story from a highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to delete a story from your highlight, you can do so by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen. Then, tap &#8216;Delete&#8217; and the story will be deleted from your profile. After it is removed from your profile, you will be unable to access it again. Follow the steps below to delete a story from your highlight. You can also un-highlight the story if you wish.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to tap the highlighted picture and tap the three dots to bring up the options menu. Next, tap &#8216;Edit Highlight&#8217; and select &#8216;Delete&#8217;. Once you&#8217;ve chosen to delete a highlight, you&#8217;ll be prompted to confirm the action. Note that the story will only be removed from your profile, not your account. It will also be invisible to other users. However, if you decide to archive a highlight, you can keep it for future reference.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_story_from_a_highlight\"><\/span>Hide a story from a highlight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can choose to hide your highlight from public view by changing the profile cover. By doing so, only your followers will see your highlight. In the settings menu, you can also choose to be private or to let the world see your highlights. You can then decide who to show your highlights to and who will see them. In most cases, you should only include highlights if you have chosen to make your account public.<\/p>\n<p>To hide a story from a highlight on Instagram, select your close friends. This will keep other people from seeing your highlight if they&#8217;re following you on Instagram. To keep people from seeing your highlight, simply mark it as private. If you&#8217;ve made changes to your profile, you can turn the setting back on. You&#8217;ll have to go through the process again to restore privacy.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"216\" width=\"387\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v9E4-fcRKAA\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Highlights on Instagram If you&#8217;d like to delete your Instagram highlights, you may not have realized that it is possible to do so.
