Hi Nick,

Recovering permanently deleted Instagram DMs can be tricky, but there are a few methods you can try:

  1. Check for an Email Backup: Instagram may have emailed you a backup of your data, including DMs. Search your inbox for “Your Instagram Data” to see if you have a backup available.

  2. Use Data Recovery Software: If you have an iOS device, tools like iMobie PhoneRescue or Dr. Fone can scan your phone for deleted data, including Instagram messages. For Android, try Disk Digger or EaseUS MobiSaver.

  3. Contact Instagram Support: While rare, Instagram support may be able to assist with recovering deleted messages if you can verify your identity and provide details about the lost data.

  4. Restore from a Full Phone Backup: If you regularly back up your entire phone to iCloud, iTunes, or Google Drive, you may be able to restore your device to a point before the messages were deleted.

Remember, prevention is key! regularly backing up your Instagram data can help avoid losing important messages in the future.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
