1. How to Hide Tagged Instagram Photos

It is relatively easy to hide your tagged Instagram photos that you don’t want people to see on your profile. It might not be your proudest moment. Now, let’s move forward with how to hide Instagram photos easily:

b. Visit your profile to see tagged photos. Tap on your profile photo at the bottom right of your screen.

c. Then, go to your tagged photos section.

d. Tap the three dots in the top right corner.

f. Then, choose “Tag Options”.

g. You’ll see “Remove me from the post” and “Hide from my profile”. Choose one of them and you’re done.

If you choose “Remove me from the post,” the tag is removed from the post. Your username won’t appear on the photo, and the photo also won’t appear in the tagged photos section of your profile. This is the best option if you were tagged without your permission and don’t want to be involved in the post.

On the other hand, if you choose “Hide from my profile,” you won’t remove the tag, but the post won’t appear in the tagged section of your profile. People can still see you in the post, but the photo won’t be visible on your profile.

Quick Reminder: When you remove yourself from the post, it cannot be reversed. The poster would need to tag you again in the photo. However, if you choose the “Hide from my profile” option, it is reversible.

How to Hide Multiple Tagged Photos at the Same Time

If you do not want to spend your time manually hiding photos, don’t worry; there is an easy way to do it.

1. Open Instagram and go to your profile.

2. Find three horizontal lines. Tap on it and choose “Your activity”.

3. Tap “Tags” and then select the photos you want to hide.

The process for removing multiple hashtags at once is similar. All you have to do is choose “Remove” instead of “Hide.”

1. Go to Instagram and tap the three horizontal lines.

2. Choose “Your Activity”.
