Hey, does anyone know how to view deleted messages on Instagram? I've tried a few things, but I can’t seem to find a way to recover or see messages that were removed. Any tips or suggestions on how to do this?
 
Messages cannot be recovered using Instagram's "Recently Deleted" feature. The best way to request the download of your data is to go to settings, "Your activity," and choose "Messages." Instagram sends you a file via email that might include the conversations that were erased.
 
You can’t see deleted Instagram messages directly, but you can request your account data from Instagram settings. It’ll include your message history if it’s still stored.
 
You can see deleted Instagram messages by downloading your account data:
  1. Go to Instagram Settings → Your activity → Download your information.
  2. Request a data download via email.
  3. Open the downloaded file to view deleted messages.
 
Hey! Unfortunately, once a message is deleted on Instagram, there’s no official way to recover it. You might be able to see it if the other person still has it, or if you’ve backed up your data from Instagram before it was deleted.
 
Officially, deleted Instagram messages cannot be recovered. They are erased from Instagram's servers once they are deleted. Apps from third parties that promise to recover them are frequently frauds that break Instagram's terms of service and jeopardize the security of your account.
 
Navigate to Instagram settings → Accounts Center → Your Information and Permissions → Download Your Information. After submitting your request, Instagram will send an email with a file that could contain deleted direct messages.
 
Instagram's "Recently Deleted" feature does not allow messages to be recovered. The most effective method for requesting that your data be downloaded is to navigate to Settings, "Your activity," and select "Messages." Instagram emails you a file that may contain the deleted conversations.
 
To see deleted messages on Instagram, go to Settings → Your activity → Download your information, request your data, and check the downloaded file for message history.
 
There is no way to save deleted DMs on your Instagram account back to your device; the best options are: (ask the partner of the chat to send you a copy), preview of the messages (message notification), is there a message in a connected facebook messenger, or request your account data (Settings/security/Download Data). Do not use third party recovering applications.
 
You can’t view deleted or unsent Instagram messages. However, you can try recovering your own deleted chats by using Instagram’s Download Your Information tool in Settings.
