One of our favourite aspects of using Instagram is that you have complete control over the aesthetic of your profile. You can apply a particular colour-coded theme to your profile by changing the profile picture, highlights, and the most recent posts on your profile.

Luckily, there is an easy way of doing that. In this article, we show you how to delete all of your Instagram posts at once and then restore them.
