Instagram makes hiding tagged photos from your profile relatively easy, but figuring out how to unhide them can take a little digging. While you cannot unhide multiple tagged photos at a time, you can quickly unhide each individual photo as long as you remember who posted it. This wikiHow article will teach you how to unhide tagged photos on your Instagram profile.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Instagram. This app has a white camera icon on a multicolored background.
  2. 2
    Go to the profile of the person that posted the photo. You can do this by clicking the magnifying glass icon towards the bottom left of the screen, then using the Search bar to search for their name. Once you find the right profile, tap it to see their photos.
    • If you cannot remember who posted the hidden photo, you can try tapping the heart icon at the top right of the home page, then scrolling through your notifications to find the photo.
