Instagram is rolling out a brand new feature, and it’s a godsend for everyone in a shitty relationship. Per The Verge, the archive feature will, “let anyone on Instagram hide their old posts without deleting them…where you’d normally see options like edit and delete, there’ll now be an option to archive the image placed right on top. Hitting that button will send the photo to a private gallery — your archive — where only you can see it.”
Now, to the average person, this may seem boring, or maybe even useless. When I first heard about a new feature I thought it would be something cool, like 3D scrolling pictures, and was subsequently disappointed when I read more. “Why would I want to delete my photos but not delete my photos?” I wondered. “In what scenario would I want to remove a picture from my profile, but still have the opportunity to return it?” That’s when I realized, this feature isn’t for me. It’s not for the average person, whether they be single, or in a stable and healthy relationship.
No, this is for all you shitty couples out there. Yes, you, you annoying assholes. You, who claim to have been together for four years but don’t mention the nine “breaks” they took over those years. You, the couples that break-up in a loud, dramatic fashion (often accompanied by many social media posts), only to get back together with the “love of your lives” a week later. For all you unhealthy, irritating, on-again, off-again couples out there, this is a god-send. Now, instead of deleting every trace of your ex from your Instagram next time you guys are “totally over. For real this time!” you can just archive those pictures, knowing full well you’ll just put them back when you make up in two days. Gone are the days where you had to commit to cutting someone out of your life profile. With the archive feature, all you crazy kids can continue to make a travesty of relationships with ease. Thanks, Instagram. .

Thinking about archiving my entire feed and solely leaving my most recent picture up until I post a new photo, at which point I will archive my second-newest photo thus leaving only one photo up again.
It makes sense in my head.
I don’t know if an aesthetic can be too clean, but you’re toeing the line, deFries.
This is for when a girl puts pictures of her ass on her Instagram. When they want to lure in a specific guy they’ll leave them up for the guy to come across but when they’re done luring him or if the luring failed, they can take them down temporarily until the next guy comes along.

This is incredible insight and I am truly fascinated by this practice. Do any of your friends with nice asses have time to explain further?

Deleting old posts, text conversations, etc. is just too satisfying. “Archive” can suck it
TBH I’m looking fwd to getting rid of my old shitty pictures from the early days of instagram. Clean up the account for a strong aesthetic but keep the memories.
Would totally abuse the shit of this if I were in a dramatic relationship tho.
