Instagram is the most popular app where we often post images and share reels with friends and followers. Like other social apps, it also allows you to delete shared content if you no longer want to have it on the app. But what if you accidentally deleted content from your Instagram account and now want it back? Here’s some good news for you! If you’re using the latest version of the Instagram app, you can restore deleted content from your Instagram account.
Now if you delete the content it will be removed from your Instagram account and will move to the Recently Deleted folder.
The contents of the Recently Deleted folder will be deleted after 30 days or up to 24 hours for stories that are not in your stories archive. So, if you have accidentally deleted content, you can restore photos, videos, reels and stories within the given time. During those 30 days, you can access the content you deleted from your account in the Recently Deleted folder on the Instagram app for Android and iPhone and either restore it or delete it permanently. However, this does not apply to deleted messages and cannot be restored. Now, let’s see how you can restore deleted Instagram content.
