If you accidentally delete an Instagram post you want to keep, you still have access to it for 30 days and can recover it at any time. You’ll need to do this from the Instagram app on iPhone or Android device, as the web browser version doesn’t allow you to access deleted content. Here is a step-by-step tutorial.

1. Open Instagram and tap the Instagram profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen to access your profile page.

2. Tap the three-line icon in the top-right corner of the screen.

3. Tap Your activity.

4. Tap Recently deleted. This will open the deleted folder.

5. Select one of the deleted posts, then tap the three dots icon in the top-right corner of the screen and tap Restore, then tap Restore again.

6. To either permanently restore or delete content, you will need a one-time password sent to you. This is to prevent hackers from wreaking havoc on your profile. You can choose to have it sent to an email or phone number.

7. After you choose where to receive the OTP, enter it in the field and tap Confirm.
