Instagram has this feature which allows users to unsend the message they have sent accidentally. Unlike WhatsApp, the recipient will not be notified when someone deletes a message on Instagram.
So is it possible to recover deleted Instagram messages? The answer is yes but you can do that in certain conditions only. Here we have shared a simple method which can help you to read unsend text messages on Instagram.
Before we start, it is important to mention that you can recover only those text messages which have deleted after implementing this method. Also, you can’t recover deleted media files on Instagram in any way.
How to read unsend Instagram messages
You can recover unsend Instagram messages with the help of WhatsRemoved+ app that will save Instagram notifications on your Android phone. Whenever you will receive a message on Instagram, this app will automatically save it. You can read that message anytime even if the sender has deleted it.
WhatsRemoved+ app is primarily made to recover deleted WhatsApp messages and media files, but it works fine with Instagram also. In the setup process, it will ask you to select the apps whose notifications you want to save.
This step-by-step guide will show you how to read unsend Instagram messages using WhatsRemoved+ app –
- Download and install WhatsRemoved+ app on your phone.
- Open the app and tap “Accept” button to accept its privacy policy.
- Now you will be asked to enable access to the notifications in your phone settings.
- After this, select Instagram from a list of apps displayed on the screen and then tap the “Next” button.
- Now the app will again ask you enable storage access on your device.
One of the functions of WhatsRemoved+ app is to monitor folders in order to recover deleted WhatsApp media files. That’s why it will ask to enable storage access, however, you don’t need to enable it in case of Instagram.
- Once the setup process is completed, move to the Instagram tab.
Whenever you will receive a new message on Instagram, it will be saved by WhatsRemoved+ app automatically. Here you can find all your Instagram messages, even the deleted ones.
