The social media platform Instagram now offers various advanced features that can be enjoyed by its loyal users. One of them is the feature to recover and view deleted photos on Instagram. This feature is available on every Instagram account with the function of restoring deleted photos or posts.
This feature is called Recently Deleted. In order to access this menu, Instagram users can go to the profile menu, but there are conditions for the Recently Deleted feature to be used to its maximum potential. With this feature, users can easily recover recently deleted posts, including photos, videos, Reels, and Stories.
The condition is that the deleted posts, whether in the form of photos, videos, or reels, must be in the Recently Deleted folder for no more than 30 days. If it exceeds this duration, it can be assumed that your posts have been permanently deleted. This is why users may not find photo or video posts in the Recently Deleted folder.
It's different for Instagram story posts. Because Instagram stories can only be seen in Recently Deleted for no more than 24 hours. This means that photo posts in the form of stories on Instagram can only be recovered within less than 24 hours. Those are the requirements that must be met to use the Recently Deleted feature on Instagram.
