Instagram’s new rolled-on feature gives the accessibility to bring back the recently deleted stories and posts. If the deleted story has not been archived in 24 hours users can restore it if it gets deleted by mistake.
If the story or post has been archived that too can be restored within 30 days. Hackers are active on the social media platform, they access the user’s account and perform unnecessary or unusual things with the hacked account.
