Instagram is a world of beauty, lifestyle, traveling, celebrities, and fashion. Everything that is appealing to the eyes is there on this platform.
Instagram is one of the leading social media platforms that is used by 500 million active daily users. Though Instagram still comes after Facebook, both these platforms are linked together for a genuine reason.
We talk about different addictions, yet we forget about social media. I have seen people use social media applications religiously before going to bed. If this is not addiction then what it is?
The audience on Instagram is very specific. It is true that people of all ages and genders love Instagram, but youth are into this platform more than anyone else.
When it comes to youth, I understand that it becomes difficult for them to let go of things. The curiosity for such an age is natural. Even for us adults, seeing the unseen becomes so important that we try to find out ways to accomplish our tasks.
We often post something and delete it. The same goes for others. There is a post one time and in the next moment, it is gone. What to do then? Well, this article will take care of your queries. Keep on reading for insights.
Instagram Post
Instagram posts are very similar to the posts that are on other websites but with a tiny bit of change.
Posts on Instagram are theme-oriented if done right. Instagram is designed with such consideration that people look at the pictures more rather than going through anything else.
Also, infographics have become a thing. Usually, people prefer images to understand a situation rather than going through descriptive text as it is all just there, in front, loud and clear.
Following are the posts that are used to express oneself on Instagram:
Images or Videos
Images and videos are shared to express the thoughts, values, and happenings of persons like. These posts help people to connect with one another without even actually contacting.
These images and videos can be shared individually or as a carousel. A carousel is often used to tell a whole story. It helps reach more people and enables better engagements.
For better-looking images and videos, make sure that you use trendy filters and designs to stand out from the crowd.
Stories
Stories are another great way to increase and reach the maximum number of people who are following you on Instagram but do not actually go through your things often.
Have you seen a circle at the top of the Instagram page? That is the status of
Instagram also sends notifications to people when people update their status. If an account shares its status after a long time or if you follow that account’s status, you will get an update the instant they share a status.
Reels
It is not a long time ago that this feature on Instagram has been introduced. It was only in 2020 that reels became a thing for Instagram users.
These short videos are so addictive that Instagram fans can not stop themselves from swiping the video up to see the next one.
These reels are not just engaging but bring more traffic to a certain page. Developers were surely right when bringing reels to Instagram. The reels that we see on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are an inspiration from TikTok.
IGTV
Launched in 2018, IGTV is a stand-alone application that can be used along with Instagram as well.
IGTV was developed to facilitate Instagram users to upload and enjoy long videos that can last up to 60 minutes. Normally, videos on Instagram are short for keeping the content concise and engaging. However, sometimes it is important to give out more information or to release a video with in-depth knowledge.
The developers of the application are surely thinking of catering to every individual possible. This is one of the reasons for a successful application.
See Your Deleted Posts on Instagram
Posting content takes time and energy, deleting it can be easy of course, but if you wish not to regret it later. Think before making the deleting decision.
The process of restoring data or deleting data permanently has the same procedure. Though it seems like a violation of privacy, it is actually a window to remove regret.
To see your deleted posts on Instagram, go to your Profile, and click on the three horizontal lines to see Your Activity. Once you are in there, click on the Recently Deleted option to see what type of content you wish to see, and Select it.
Keep one thing in mind, if your Instagram is not updated, or you have not deleted anything recently, you may not be able to see these options.

See Other’s Deleted Posts on Instagram
If you think you can see what others have posted and deleted, bear in mind that YOU CAN NOT!
There is no way of seeing what the other person has deleted after posting. However, you can be extra smart and check the following table to get some ideas for later use.
| To Do | See Other’s Deleted Posts |
| Ask a Friend | If a friend of yours has access to that certain post, ask for help. |
| Take a Screenshot | Take a screenshot if you must. Screenshots are doing wonders for people for so long, right? |
| Use Third-Party App | There are many third-party applications that can let you in on other’s Instagram world. However, such an act is unethical and risky. |
| Download the Post | If it is a video that you might think will be erased later, and you want a hold of it, copy its link and go to Google to download it online. |
However, it is always better to respect the other person’s decision and not invade their privacy.
