Get Back Your Deleted Instagram Photos |
INSTAGRAM has added a new way to get back your deleted photos
It means if you’ve accidentally deleted a post, you’ll have 30 days to retrieve it.
The new system works not only for photos, but other content too – including videos, reels, IGTV videos and stories.

You Have 30 Days To Restore Your Deleted Photos |
However, Stories are quite an exception – they’ll only stay in your Recently Deleted folder for 24 hours.
But for everything else, you’ll have 30 days to restore the content.
It’s a bit like the Recycle Bin on a Windows PC.
There are three main reasons why this feature is really useful.
1. You might simply regret deleting a post, and want it back.
2. You’ve deleted a post from Instagram, and you’ve also lost the photo on your phone – and want to restore it.
3. Hackers often delete content when they access accounts, so this would provide a safeguard against that.
How to restore deleted Instagram photos
First, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Instagram.
Open the Instagram app and go into Settings.
Choose Account and then Recently Deleted.
From there, you’ll be able to restore any posts that you’ve deleted in the past 30 days.
