Instagram will let users recover recently deleted content


Deleted content will be accessible for 30 days in Settings > Account > Recently Deleted on the latest version of the Instagram app. — AFP Relaxnews

If you’ve ever found yourself regretting deleting a photo from Instagram, then this new feature is for you. The social network is introducing a new folder that will save deleted content for 30 days, making it easier for users to retrieve and republish.

For greater security, and to protect users from account hacking, Instagram will verify the user's identity before reinstating or permanently deleting content. The function does not yet appear to have rolled out to all global regions.
