# Hide or show tagged posts on Instagram

By HeyMark · Updated October 19, 2026

Open the post from the tagged posts tab on your profile. Note which account published it so you can find it again after hiding it. If you also want to remove your tag, you will find a link to that procedure at the end.

## Hide a tagged post from your profile

In the Instagram app for iPhone:

1. Open the post where you were tagged.
2. Tap **Options** in the top right, then tap **Tag Options**.
3. Tap **Hide from my profile**.

The post stops appearing on your profile, but it remains on the original poster's account and you remain tagged in it.

Return to the tagged posts tab on your profile and check that the post has disappeared. To show it again later, open the original post on the account that published it, open **Tag Options** and tap **Show on my profile**.

## Hide several posts at once

Instagram's Help Center also documents selecting several posts in the app:

1. Go to **Profile** and tap **Menu**.
2. Open **Your activity**, then **Tags**.
3. Tap **Select** and choose the posts you want to hide.
4. Tap **Hide** at the bottom, then confirm by tapping **Hide** again.

Check the tagged posts section to confirm that the selected items no longer appear on your profile. Hiding them does not delete the original content or remove the tag.

If you want to remove the link between your account and a post, that is a separate action: Instagram says you can remove yourself from the post. [See Instagram's help for removing yourself from a tagged post](https://help.instagram.com/178891742266091/?cms_platform=iphone-app). This hide/show walkthrough is documented for the app; Instagram says its untagging feature is unavailable on computers.
