Instagram Is Testing a Way for Users to Keep Posts to Themselves Without Deleting Them

Users who are part of the test group can tap the three dots icon on one of their posts and select 'Archive'

Instagram confirmed that it is testing a feature that allows users to archive photos and videos they have deleted from their accounts, rather than wiping them out permanently.

The Next Web director of social media Matt Navarra was one of the early spotters of the feature, sharing images of it via tweet.

Instagram users who are part of the test group can tap the three dots icon on one of their posts and select “Archive,” after which the post will only be visible to them.
