When you delete an Instagram post, it goes to the “Recently Deleted” folder in the app. Instagram keeps these deleted posts for 30 days. Here’s what to do:

How to Recover Deleted Posts (within 30 days):

1. Open Instagram app and go to your profile.

2. Tap the three lines (menu) in the top right.

3. Go to “Your Activity.”

4. Tap “Recently Deleted.”

5. Select the post, then tap “Restore.”

Important notes:

After 30 days, Instagram permanently deletes the post and it cannot be recovered.

If you can’t find the post in “Recently Deleted,” it’s already permanently gone.

For future safety:
Consider backing up your posts and Stories with a tool like Picnob, which lets you view and save your Instagram photos and videos easily.
