In an effort to prevent users from permanently deleting a photo, Instagram has launched their new “Archive” option.
Archive allows users of the photo sharing service to save publish photos, then privatize one photo at a time by sending it into the archive. This means if you’ve already posted a photo but you later decide you don’t want people to see it, you can simply archive so that you can keep it on your account.
To archive a photo, users only need to open the photo that they want to archive, and click the ellipses (… on iOS, vertical on Android) on the top right corner, which also contains the options to Turn Off Commenting, Edit, Share, and Delete. The Archive option will be the first of the options.
The photo is then removed from the user’s page and stored in the new “Archive” page which can be accessed by tapping the counter-clockwise arrow image on the top right corner of the app.
If the user changes their mind and wants to publish the photo on their page again,
Instagram says that the new feature allows users to be more flexible as their evolving profile reflects the user over time, and newly unwanted photos can then be relegated to private viewing.
