Instagram is one of the most popular - and most addicting - social media apps out there.
If you have an account, chances are you're all too aware just how tempting it is to post every single mundane detail of your day to your account. In fact, you may end up oversharing with your followers at some point because of it.
If this happens and you find yourself wanting to clean up your account, you may be interested in Instagram's archiving feature. This allows you to hide the posts from your main Instagram feed without deleting them entirely, and it's pretty useful.
But if you decide that you want to unarchive an Instagram post and restore it to your feed, doing so is a straightforward process that won't take more than a minute or two, if that. Here's how to do it.
How to unarchive a post on Instagram
1. After logging into your Instagram account, go to your account page by tapping the small profile icon picture in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
2. Tap the three horizontally-stacked lines in the upper right-hand corner of your screen to open a list of menu options.
