How to unhide tagged photos on Instagram
Important info: Keep in mind that even though it is possible to untag yourself from a post, you won’t be able to bring back the photo or video on your profile. On the other hand, if you only hide it, you can always make that post reappear in Photos of You.
- Open Instagram and log in to your profile there.
- Go to the person’s profile whose post you’ve previously hidden.
- Tap on the photo to open it.
- Tap on the three dots (top-right section).
- Tap on ‘Tag options’.
- From the new popup window, tap on the option ‘Show in my profile’ (Android)/ ‘Show on My Profile’ (iOS).
That post will appear again in your profile under the Photos of Me tab. You can check that out by navigating back to your profile. The unhidden photo should appear at the top in the Photos of You section.

Can I choose to approve Instagram posts that I am tagged in?
Yes! Instagram allows you to choose whether posts you’re tagged in appear on your profile automatically or manually.
When you choose to add photos and videos manually, they will show up on your profile only if you approve them. Otherwise, when others tag you on an image or a video, it will automatically be added to your profile.
So, to manually select the photos and videos that show up on your profile:
- Open the Instagram app as usual.
- Once on your profile page, tap on the hamburger icon to access ‘Settings’.
- Tap on ‘Privacy’.
- Tap on ‘Posts’.
- Under Tagged Posts, tap on ‘Manually Approve Tags’.
- Turn the toggle on for the option Manually approve tags.
Apart from this, you can also allow the tags you’ll receive by selecting either ‘Everyone’, ‘People You Follow’, or ‘No One’.
Can I hide multiple posts at once?
You can also do that, and you can do this for hiding multiple reels, photos, or videos at once.
- Tap on your profile picture at the bottom right to access your profile.
- Tap on the hamburger icon and tap on ‘Settings’.
- Tap on ‘Privacy’.
- Tap on ‘Posts’.
- Tap on ‘Manually Approve Tags’ and then tap on ‘Edit’ (next to Tagged posts).
- Choose the posts you want to hide from your profile.
- Tap on ‘Hide’ (bottom right).
