How To Delete Highlights On Instagram

Tech

For when they start to feel like a blooper reel.

by Emma Carey

Brothers91/E+/Getty Images

It’s been said time and time again that social media usually only shows someone’s highlight reel. Even the most candid of photo dumps was curated from a not-so-glamorous camera roll, and even the most seemingly-spontaneous Instagram story was probably preceded by someone telling their friend, “Wait, do that again. I wanna take a video.” But few spheres of Instagram embody this best-of energy quite like one’s Instagram highlights. Often picked from the cream of the crop of one’s stories, Instagram highlights are a way for users to display a selection of their favorite stories on their profile. Many have even organized their stories into folders with aesthetically pleasing icons and titles like “travel photos,” “my besties,” etc. It’s very much a “best foot forward” way of giving new followers a glimpse of your best stories.

But, no matter how curated your Instagram highlights may be, there might come a time when they start to feel less like a highlight reel and more like your bloopers. Say, for instance, that highlight folder from you and your S/O’s vacation that now has aged like milk post-breakup.

If there’s a certain highlight folder you don’t want pinned to your profile for all to see, you’re not eternally tied to these selections. Here is everything you need to know about deleting Instagram highlights.

How To Delete Instagram Highlights

First, you’ll want to head to your profile tab on Instagram. Find the highlight reel you want to delete entirely, or delete individual stories from, and long-press on it.

If you want to delete an entire highlight folder, all you need to do next is press “Delete Highlight” from the pop-up menu. However, if there are certain stories from this highlight that you’re hoping to cut out of the selection, then click “Edit Highlight.” From here, you’ll be taken to a screen that shows the thumbnails of all of the stories in your highlights under a tab labeled “Selected.” Find the story, or multiple stories, that you wish to delete, and just tap on them to remove the check mark from their thumbnail. Press “Done” in the top right corner, and your updated highlight will reflect these changes.

If there are multiple highlight folders that you wish to delete, or multiple stories within separate highlight folders, then just rinse and repeat. Soon, your profile will be squeaky clean of any undesirable story highlights.

How To Restore An Instagram Highlight That You Deleted

If you accidentally deleted a highlight without meaning to — or, better yet, you and your S/O got back together and now you’re ready to re-launch that romantic vacation highlight — it’s pretty easy to restore a highlight.

If you want to restore a deleted story to your highlight, you can just add it back into your highlight folder in the same way you’d add a new story into the folder. To do this, hold down on the folder, click “Edit Highlight,” select “Stories” next to the default “Selected” tab, scroll back to the story, and select it. As long as you didn’t delete the story from your archive, you’ll be able to recover it to your highlight folder.

If you accidentally deleted an entire highlights folder, well, good luck, Charlie. Just kidding. The process for recovering this is still possibly, just slightly more grueling. Essentially, you will just need to recreate the entire folder like you would while creating a new highlight folder. To do so, click the “New” option with a plus (+) sign icon to the right of your highlight folders. Then, select the stories from your archive that you want to put in the highlight folder. Click “Next,” and type in your title and select your cover photo.

Phew. Just like new.

How to delete an Instagram Story: a simple guide for beginners

Hello friends.

Today we are talking about one of the most popular social networks, Instagram. It has a lot of interesting and useful features that are worth mastering. Especially popular now are short videos and photos in the Stories format, which are stored for 24 hours and then disappear from the account.

Many of my friends shoot Stories every day and share their thoughts, ideas and experiences with their followers in real time. You can do that too, if you want. But it is important to know not only how to create interesting content, add links and special effects to it, but also how to delete an Instagram Story if something went wrong, you changed your mind, are dissatisfied with the quality of the material, or the news has lost its relevance. We will deal with this issue today.

Features of storing Stories

Any content that you post on your profile can be removed from there at any time: be it a regular post, Stories or IGTV video. The peculiarity of Stories is that they themselves disappear from the page a day after publication, and in most cases it is not necessary to look for ways to delete them. But you can work with the settings so that they remain on the server and are available to you and no one else at any time, or, conversely, disable saving.

To do this, open the settings.

Go to the "Privacy" section, "History" and move the lever to the desired position.

The archive is located on the Instagram server and does not take up phone memory, so we believe that you should not refuse autosave. But it's up to you to decide how best to deal with your content.

Also, long-running Stories that do not lose their relevance after 24 hours and benefit your account and subscribers can be saved in the “Relevant” section. Then every visitor who has access to your profile will be able to view these photos or short videos at any time.

Thus, Stories can be stored for 24 hours in the main section, an unlimited amount of time in the archive only for you and in the "Actual" section for all page visitors. And you can remove them from current records, “Actual” and from the server via phone and computer.

Now we will consider all these possibilities in order.

From the phone

Open Instagram on your mobile device. The interface of the app on iPhone and Android is slightly different. We will show on the example of Android, but you can easily understand by analogy how to act in an iOS program.

Recent Stories

Click on your profile picture at the top of the screen on the home page and find the post you want.

To quickly scroll through content, gently touch the screen with your finger until the image you are looking for appears in front of you. Then, on the photo or video you want to remove, tap on the 3 dots in the lower right corner and select the desired item.

Confirm your wish, and the material will disappear from Stories, but remain in the archive. Within the allotted 24 hours, you will have access to the statistics of views, then it will disappear, and the record will remain, only you can view it.

Archive

If you keep all published materials for yourself, you can go to the repository at any time and delete unnecessary entries. To do this, go to your profile by clicking on the silhouette of a person in the bottom menu.

Now tap on the clock icon with a round arrow at the top of the screen.

The archive will open. Touch the desired publication with your finger, click on the 3 dots in the right corner and then on the word “Delete”. After that, no one (even you yourself) will be able to view this video or photo. It will permanently disappear from the profile and from the Instagram server.

Stories from Live

Stories that you have downloaded and kept for subscribers for an unlimited period can also be edited by deleting individual entries. To do this, go to your profile and click on the desired folder with publications in the “Relevant” section.

Scroll or view recordings to the desired video or photo. Then click on the drop-down menu icon and select the appropriate action. After that, the History will be moved to the archive. How to remove it permanently, we have already figured out.

From a computer

You can't add Stories through the web version of Instagram, but you can delete them. To do this, open the site instagram.com, log in and go to your page.

Then click on the circled avatar and find the video or picture you want to delete. In the top corner, click on the 3 dots and get rid of the content.

The same actions can be done with publications saved in the "Actual" section. Open the collection, find the desired entry, click on the 3 dots and select “Delete” in the menu.

Only the archive cannot be viewed, edited or cleared from the computer. But you can request a link with all publications and correspondence to your e-mail in order to download them to a PC or laptop.

How to back up all your profile photos and videos

Open Instagram on your mobile device and go to "Security" in Settings. Here we need the item “Download data”.

The system will offer to send information to the email address you specified when registering your account, but you can use another email address. Click on the "Request Files" button, enter the password for your account and wait for the letter, it should arrive within 2 days.

You will need to follow the link, log in to the social network and download the archive with files. Now you have a backup copy of all materials, and you can safely proceed to deleting publications.

How to delete your search history

If you frequently search social network pages, you might be interested in clearing your search history. To implement it, open the application on your mobile device and go to settings.

Then go to the “Security” section and tap on the very last item, then confirm the action. Everything is pretty simple.

Conclusion
