After you or someone else deletes it, you can finally get your deleted Instagram photos and videos back. Instagram is also taking steps to make your account more hacker-proof. With this tip, you can learn how to recover deleted photos or videos.

Starting this week, Instagram will release an app update that adds recently delete features. It allows you to recover recently deleted photos and videos. Messages containing images, videos, clips, and IGTV videos are deleted and then moved to the Trash that only you can view. This can be fixed in 30 days. Instagram then removes it altogether. Instagram stories also end in this trash can, but can only be recovered within 24 hours.

Step to recover the Instagram post:

Step 1: To your Instagram settings

Open the Instagram app, click the profile icon (bottom right), then click the three dots in the upper right corner. Select “Settings”.

Step 2: To recently deleted

In the settings menu, choose “Account” then search for “Recently Deleted”. Choose this setting.

Step 3: Recover the photo or video

Then select the photos or videos you want to recover. If you don’t see the image or video you want right away, you can go to other tabs. This is for regular posts, IGTV, videos, and stories. Click on the affected photo or video to see the recovery. The photo has returned to your profile.
