Hey victor3798,
Oh man, accidentally deleting stuff is the worst, right? I feel your pain.
Unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t have a recycle bin for Reels like you might find on your computer. Once they’re gone, they’re usually gone from the app itself.
Here’s the deal, while direct recovery might not be possible, you could explore third-party data recovery tools, but proceed with caution and do your research to avoid sketchy software. Also, if you’ve ever shared those Reels on other platforms or sent them to friends, there might still be a copy floating around!
Speaking of backups, have you ever thought about using a monitoring app like Haqerra? While it can’t magically bring back deleted Reels, it’s awesome for backing up and archiving all sorts of data from your phone, including media files. Plus, it has a ton of other features that can be super useful for keeping your digital life organized. It might not help you this time, but it could be a lifesaver in the future!
Hope this helps, and good luck with your Reel recovery mission!
