How do I find this feature in the app?

Recently, Instagram launched a new feature - "Recently Deleted". It is designed to strengthen the protection of profiles from hacking and envious actions. With this function, the account owner can recover deleted posts, photos, stories, Reels, videos and IGTV records..

It is worth noting that a limited number of days are allocated for recovery. For example, stories that have not been archived can only be returned within 24 hours. The rest of the content - for example, photos and videos - can be restored within 30 days. After this period, Instagram will finally "empty the trash".

It is very easy to do this:

  • Update the app to the latest version and sign in to your profile.
  • Click on the "hamburger" icon in the upper right corner and select "Settings".
  • In the settings, select "Account" and then "Recently Deleted".
  • Select the posts you want.
  • The application will ask if you really want to restore them - answer in the affirmative. Please note that if you restore content that has been deleted from the archive, it will appear in the archive again.

After that, the ontent will automatically return to where it was originally..

This service is especially useful for those whose account has been hacked. The new level of security is designed to help users get back their content that has been removed by hackers (which happens quite often).

By the way, before restoring or permanently deleting a photo, Instagram will require the user to confirm that he is the owner of the account. That is, this not only allows you to restore accidentally deleted posts, it is also a security measure: if someone hacks your page and starts doing whatever he wants with it, he will not be able to permanently delete your posts..
