In conclusion

Is it possible to return photos to Instagram* from a computer? Unfortunately, the social network site does not have a menu with archives of publications. Therefore, even if you switch to mobile layout, you will not be able to access the archives. Of course, you can install an Android emulator on your computer, download the application from Google Play and go into it, but it seems easier to use the phone.

On the other hand, posting from a computer is often convenient, especially if you have to type a lot of text on the keyboard and regularly make interactive stories. These opportunities are provided by the delayed posting service SMMplanner - where you can also put many posts and stories into postponement at once, which frees up a lot of time.

Of course, the service will be useful primarily for SMM-persons and those who maintain several accounts and cross-post to several social networks at once. In any case, try it - the first week is free, and during this time it will become clear for sure whether you need such wide functionality or not.

Necessity

Modern Instagram has become more fastidious lately. If earlier any picture would have been suitable, now in the conditions of fierce competition, his tape requires more attention and a special approach. If you want to be popular and get more readers to subscribe to you, you definitely need to watch your style and apply the same filter for all pictures. It happens that a post is posted, and after a while I found out that it does not fit, but it is a pity to delete it. In this case, the correct solution is to archive. Just like before putting unnecessary photos in a box.

A saved post in the archive is not changed in any way. It has the same text, likes and comments. Nobody will see it except you. However, you can send it to your friend in Direct. And when needed, it can easily be returned to the feed to the same place where it was originally posted - at the same date and time.

The archive was created due to the fact that users often deleted their publications. Sometimes by mistake, and also to hide it temporarily, with no particular desire to erase it permanently. The owner of the account was at a disadvantage, and Instagram also lost in its performance. Therefore, there is now a magical “Archive” button, with which you can save all publications, both with photos and videos. As a result, everyone is happy. And in addition to the new function, they came up with several useful applications. That's about them right now and will be discussed.

• Visual cleaning. Sometimes you need to clean up your account. This happens especially often when a business page is made from a private profile. When you need to leave in sight only those photos that match the style and meaning of the profile. And all sorts of flowers, cats and personal pictures no longer fit into the established format.

It is often a pity to delete such photos. That's when the save function becomes useful.

• Availability of goods in the Instagram store. It is very convenient to use the archive to hide publications with the specified positions, which are not currently available. This reduces the likelihood of unnecessary questions about it. But when it reappears, the post with it can be immediately restored.
• Saving important information. Posts are often saved to return to useful material or interesting dialogue under the post. Content can be duplicated over time, and the text can be useful for new ideas in the future.
• Saving statistics. Bloggers often publish promotional posts in their feed. In order for the visual series to be preserved, they are sent to the archive in a day. So that later at any time it would be possible to provide the advertiser with statistics of the collected likes and comments.
• Template publications. For example, you need to write texts for marathons, promotions and other events. As a rule, such information has a limited validity period. It is recommended to remove it from the tape to the archive. But when the time comes for such publications, you can easily copy the template and paste it into a new post.
• Creating intrigue. A common method of attracting the attention of popular stars. When all content is sent to the archive, and the public immediately asks various questions in bewilderment and begins to propagate rumors and gossip. This was done by American singer Taylor Swift on the eve of the release of the album, which attracted a lot of attention and increased sales of her product. The same can be done with any account, warming up subscribers before changing activities or releasing a new product line.
• Delayed posting. For example, you wrote a post at night. But publishing it at this time means no one will see it. You freeze it in the archive and unzip it when, according to statistics, your target audience is actively sitting on Instagram. Similarly, you can make a series of posts and pull them out of the archive.

How to archive

Everything is very simple here. Open the post and go to its settings. These are three vertical lines in the upper right corner. In the menu that opens, select the "Archive" button and click it. And everything is a point. This is the whole process.

However, first think carefully, because there will be no additional questions in the style of “Are you sure you want to archive this post?” Even if you change your mind, then we will also look at how to get a photo from the archive. But first things first.

It also happens (very rarely) that this button is missing. In this case, you need to go to page management.

Next, look in the "Privacy and Security" section, the "History Settings" subsection and go into it.

Find "Save" and check that the button on the blue background is turned on next to "Save to archive".

After the above steps, you can send your publications to the repository in any quantity.

Where is the archive located and how to view archived photos on Instagram

Users often panic. And indeed, for this you need to know where the pictures are saved. And we will tell you about it now.

As a rule, many people immediately start looking for archiving in Settings. But it is hidden behind a button in the form of a clock with a reverse movement.

If you haven't archived any posts yet, the page will be blank and look like this.

However, if you archived a photo and you don't see it here, don't worry.
