Here's How To Restore Deleted Instagram Posts

JAKARTA - Recently, Instagram launched a brand-new feature that can make users bring back deleted posts. Instagram presents the "Recently Deleted" feature.

Through this new feature, users can display various photos and videos that were recently deleted. Not only that, but this feature can also restore IGTV, Stories, and Reels.

Instagram said that the “Recently Deleted” feature could be the right way when users accidentally delete a photo or video content on Instagram.

Not only that, but Instagram users whose photo posts were deleted by hackers can also be returned with this feature.

"We know, sometimes hackers delete content when they get access to your account, and until now people have no way to get their photos or videos back easily", said Instagram, as quoted by Slash Gear.

For users who want to restore Stories, Instagram gives 1 day or 24 hours after Stories content is deleted. Meanwhile, other content, such as feeds, photos, videos, IGTV, and Reels, can be restored no later than 30 days after all content has been deleted.

Cited from Phone Arena, the recovery of deleted content will be verified first. This action is necessary to ensure that the owner of the account wants to recover the content and not someone else with malicious intent.

This verification will be sent via short message (SMS) or email. Users will also be verified if they want to delete content for a long time or permanently.

"Starting today, we will ask users to verify that they are the owner of the account when they want to delete or restore content from the 'Recently Deleted' feature", said Instagram in a blog post.

In addition, Instagram also says that even though the user has permanently deleted it, the system still retains the data for up to 90 days before the content is completely deleted.

This new feature has been launched globally, but it seems that Instagram users in the country still have to wait some more time.

Backup storage is needed by Instagram so that it can restore user data in case of problems, software damage, or various other unexpected events. For users who want to restore deleted posts can follow these steps:

1. Enter the user's Instagram account profile

2. Then press the three dots which are located in the right corner

3. After that, select Settings, then press the Recently Deleted menu, then select the post you want to return, then press Restore.
