How to recover deleted Instagram messages?

You could try using Instagram direct message recovery software or programs but bear in mind that this is not a recommended method for recovering deleted Instagram messages.

Without utilizing third-party programs, you can retrieve deleted Instagram DMs using the methods listed below.

Recovery by staunch

Go to the Instagram message recovery tool.
Enter your username.
Click on the Recover Messages button.
Your messages will be automatically restored to your account.

Instagram Data

Deleting a message from your Instagram doesn’t delete it from the server, therefore to recover them, all you have to do is request Instagram.

To do that, follow these simple steps:

Open Instagram and log in.
Go to the settings.
Click on Security and then select the Download Data option from the Data and History section.
Now, enter your email ID, and finally tap the Request Download button.
At this point, Instagram will start creating a file and within 48 hours, you will receive a download link to download your data.
Download those files to proceed further.
If you are using an Android device, download the JSON Genie app.
Extract the file that you downloaded.
Start the Json Genie app.
Look for the Instagram folder then open the “messages.json” file.
Here you will be able to view all your deleted messages.
