Hide or show tagged posts on Instagram

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. This hide/show walkthrough is documented for the app; Instagram says its untagging feature is unavailable on computers.

To decide who can tag or mention you, follow how to choose those audiences on Instagram. This is separate from hiding an existing tagged post from your profile.
