Instagram just rolled out a new feature that lets you restore deleted posts, offering a safeguard against hackers purging your account. From today henceforth, content deleted from your Instagram account will be moved to a new Recently Deleted folder for a short time. From there it can either be restored or permanently deleted, both of which will require verification of your identity. It's basically the usual Recycling Bin, but with a lock on it. This new feature affects all Instagram content, including your typical grid photos, videos, Reels, IGTV videos, and even Stories. Most of these will sit patiently in the Recently Deleted folder for 30 days before they are automatically and permanently deleted.
