Instagram is launching a new feature to help you gain access to content you deleted. The aptly-named Recently Deleted allows you to review and restore deleted content in the Instagram app. The social network also said it added protections to prevent hackers from compromising your account and deleting posts you've shared.
Now, Instagram will ask you to verify that you're the rightful account holder when permanently deleting or restoring content from the Recently Deleted folder.
The folder will house everything from photos, videos, reels, IGTV videos, and stories you deleted. Deleted stories that aren't in your archive will remain in the folder for up to 24 hours, while Instagram will automatically delete everything else 30 days later.
If you want to access your content, head to Settings > Account > Recently Deleted. You'll gain access to the feature on the latest version of the Instagram app.
