If you have been using this social networking app, you may probably be already aware that stories automatically disappear after 24 hours. And they get stored in the Archive folder. The same thing happens with the posts that you hide. If you ever change your mind, you can show your hidden image on your Instagram profile or reshare your story with ease.
