How to reactivate deactivated posts on Instagram

Let’s get right into the discussion by going to see how to reactivate deactivated posts on Instagram. Follow the “tips” that I am about to give you and you will see that everything will be for the best.

How to re-enable Instagram posts for Android

If you want to know how to reactivate the posts of friends on Instagram and use an Android terminal, all you have to do is open the app of the famous photographic social network, go to the profile of the user of your interest and proceed with the reactivation of his posts via the appropriate function.

Then, open the Instagram app and log into your account (if you have not already done so). Then tap on the house icon (bottom left), press the magnifying glass symbol (top right) and, after writing the username of the person of your interest in the search field at the top, select the correct occurrence.

Once you have gone to the profile of the person in question, press the Follow button, tap the Silence item and move the switch lever located at the word Post to OFF. From now on, the person’s posts will be reactivated and shown to you again in the Instagram feed. It wasn’t difficult, was it?

In case of second thoughts, to mute again the posts of the user in question, go to his profile by following the steps I have indicated above, press the Follow already button, select the word Silence and move the switch located next to it to ON under Post.

How to re-enable Instagram posts for iPhone

If you want to know how to reactivate hidden posts on Instagram from iPhone, know that the procedure to follow is practically identical to the one I showed you just now in the chapter on Android.

To proceed, therefore, access your Instagram account from the official app of the photographic social network, tap on the house icon (bottom left) and press the magnifying glass symbol (top right). Therefore, write the username of the person of your interest in the search bar located at the top and select the correct occurrence to go to the profile on which you intend to act.

Once this is done, press the Follow button already, tap on the word Silence and move the switch lever that is located at the Post item to OFF. Mission accomplished! From this very moment, the posts of the profile on which you have acted will be reactivated and will therefore be visible in the Instagram feed.

If you have second thoughts, you can silence the posts of the person in question again, by going to his profile (to do so, follow the steps I indicated earlier), pressing the Follow button, tapping the Silence item and moving ON the switch which is placed in correspondence with the wording Post. Simple, right?

How to re-enable posts on Instagram for PC

Would you like to know how to reactivate posts on Instagram for PC? I’m sorry, but at the time of writing, this is not feasible neither from the web version of Instagram, nor from its application for Windows 10. If things change in the future, I will not fail to update the guide with all the relevant instructions.

How to reactivate hidden posts on Instagram

Have you come to this guide with the aim of finding out how to reactivate the hidden posts on Instagram, or the posts that you have hidden from the community by making your profile private? Well, in that case, know that succeeding is simple: just make your profile public again and that’s it.

Before explaining briefly how to do this, I remind you that by setting the account as public anyone can start following you and/or see the content you post on your profile (requests to follow you that were pending will be automatically approved).

• On Android– open the Instagram app, log in to your account, press the little man icon (bottom right), press the button (≡) (top right), select the Settings item in the opened menu, go to the Privacy menu and move the switch lever located in correspondence with the Private account item to OFF (in the Privacy section of the account at the top). To confirm the action, answer Go to public mode to the question Do you want to switch to a public account? present in the box that appeared below.
• On iPhone– open the Instagram app, log in to your account, press the little man icon (bottom right), tap the (≡) button ( top right) and go to the Settings> Privacy of the account and toggle the switch next to Private account to OFF. To confirm the operation, answer Change to the question Do you want to change the privacy? present in the box that appeared in the center of the screen.
• On PC– access Instagram from its Web version or from its application for Windows 10, click on the thumbnail of your profile photo (top right) and select the Settings item in the opened menu. Then click on the wording Privacy and security located in the left sidebar, remove the check from the Private account box and confirm the operation by clicking on the OK item in the box that appeared on the screen.
