It happens when you delete your published Instagram posts by mistake or do you want to recover your Instagram posts that you deleted a few minutes ago? You came to the right place, as we will be discussing how you can easily recover your deleted Instagram posts in a few easy steps.
This feature on Instagram was recently introduced for users to make it more user-friendly. Instagram also mentioned that when your Instagram account gets hacked, hackers sometimes delete your content when they gain access to your Instagram account. Hence, they launched a new feature that helps Instagram account holders restore content from recently deleted items.
How to Restore Deleted Instagram Posts
This new feature is called “Recently Deleted” and rolling out for most of the users globally. The good thing about this feature is that you can restore your deleted videos, reels, IGTV videos, Stories as well as posts.
Check the following steps to restore deleted Instagram posts:
- Open your Instagram Account > “Settings“
- Select the “Account” option from there
Right now, this feature is only available for a few Instagram accounts, as I can find it on mine, but not on my friend’s account. However, it will be soon rolling out for all Instagram users.
How Recovering Instagram Works
When you delete any content from your Instagram account, it will show you a notice that you can recover these photos, videos, reels, IGTV videos, and stories within 30 days of deleting the content. After 30 days, Instagram will permanently delete that removed content and you will no longer be able to restore it.
