When the user deletes the content, it goes to the “Recently Deleted” folder. It only takes a few steps to retrieve this content, but there is a caveat.
If a user accidentally deletes content on InstagramThere is a way to get it back. Another Meta social media platform, Facebook, also allows users to recover recently deleted content. It only takes a few simple steps in Manage Activity to get something back. On the other hand, Twitter does not have an easy way to find deleted content. The user has to download an archive of his data. This is more information than anyone needs. Fortunately, Instagram users can recover deleted content just as easily on Facebook.
Users may delete content from their feed if they are cleaning it but then decide they made a mistake. Most of the time, the photo or video should be saved somewhere else, but if not, at least there is a way to get it back. In some cases, the user may have created the content directly on the application, so there is no other copy of it. Instagram only added this feature last year, but it was an excellent addition.
When content is deleted in Instagram, it is moved to Recently Deleted. Items stay there for 30 days or 24 hours for stories. After that time, the content is automatically deleted. So, while users can restore all content, including photos, videos, reels, and stories, this cannot be done indefinitely. That is why it is better before deleting the content to make sure that they want to get rid of it. At least Instagram gives users a limited time to restore posts.
Recover content from Recently Deleted
Go to the application and click on the user profile picture in the lower right corner to recover the deleted content. Next, click on the three lines in the upper right corner. Then go to Your Activity. Next, scroll down and select Recently Deleted. At the top, the user can choose a grid for profile posts, play button for videos, reels icon for stories, and stories icon for stories. After selecting the type of content to be recovered, click on the content and tap on the three-dotted lines at the top right. Finally, click “Restore”. Users can also permanently delete content from this folder. It’s the same steps. The user will choose “Delete” instead of “Restore”. Instagram also checks users before they can delete or restore content, which adds a good level of security.
Instagram He added this feature because users have been requesting it for a while. The company also wanted to give people a way to recover content if an account was hacked and hackers deleted the posts in the process. Unfortunately, there was no easy way to recover the photos when this happened. So far, users will not lose their content if their account is hacked.
