- You want to post videos or photos that are not suitable for your followers.
- In some cases, you may have posted the wrong content, such as accidentally posting a private message instead of an image or video.
- Suppose you have inappropriate comments on your post. Sometimes someone may comment something inappropriate on your post, and it’s worth hiding it from other users so they don’t see such comments. This can be embarrassing for both parties involved, and it would be better if the post was completely hidden from happening.
- Say you’re concerned about privacy. You probably don’t want to share your posts with everyone on the platform. Maybe you’re busy with a project or don’t want everyone to know what you’re doing. If this is the case, hiding your post is a great way to do it.
