Tagging someone in your pictures or videos is a useful feature that lets you inform others about the people who are in it. Not only that, but the tagged photos are also added to the user’s Instagram profile.

But what if later you change your mind and you wish to get them back? Well, in this tutorial we have got you covered. Here’s how to hide or unhide tagged photos on Instagram from an Android or iOS device.

Similarly, you can unhide other tagged photos/videos.

The drawback is that you need to remember the hidden posts in order to unhide them. Instagram doesn’t show the hidden tagged posts in a particular section so you need to have a sharp memory to recollect the hidden photos.
