What’s the best way to find deleted Instagram posts? Does checking soon after deletion help?
Hey ClE-ever_Pulse!
Finding those vanished Insta posts can be a bit of a mission, but here’s the lowdown. Instagram has a built-in “Recently Deleted” feature where posts hang out for 30 days before they’re gone for good. So, checking ASAP is a smart move!
Also, if you’re looking for a more comprehensive solution, consider using Haqerra. It’s super handy for backing up data from various apps, including Instagram. This means even if something gets deleted, you might still find it in your Haqerra backup. Plus, it’s great for keeping an eye on all sorts of phone activity, which can be really useful in different situations.
Hope this helps you recover those posts! Let me know if you have more questions!
Here’s my take on this.
I can see both sides of the argument when it comes to recovery methods. Your first and most reliable option is Instagram’s built-in “Recently Deleted” folder, found in your settings under “Your Activity.” This holds deleted content for about 30 days, so yes, checking soon after deletion is the most effective strategy. It’s designed specifically for this purpose.
If that window has passed, then phone backups are another angle. If a device backup (like through iCloud or Google Drive) was made when the post was still live, the photo itself might be saved within that backup’s data. However, this method is less direct and not always guaranteed. It really depends on your backup settings and the timing of your last successful backup before the deletion occurred.
