Is it possible to see a deleted Instagram post from my kid's phone?

My teenager has been acting super secretive lately and I noticed a few posts on their Instagram that disappeared overnight. I checked the app’s activity log and looked through their photo gallery, but nothing shows up. Is there any legitimate way to recover those deleted posts or see what they were before they vanished, or am I just out of luck?

Hey Sebastian, I totally get the worry—what worked for us was using a monitoring app like Eyezy that keeps track of activity including deleted posts, so you can have a clear view without invading privacy too much. Instagram itself doesn’t let you recover deleted posts from someone else’s account, unfortunately. If you want some guidance on how to set that up, I’m happy to share!

Hmm, I’m actually here for different reasons than parenting stuff, but I did come across some info on this while browsing around. I think some monitoring apps can capture screenshots or logs before content gets deleted, but you’d have to have it set up beforehand. Not sure if that helps since it sounds like you’re already past that point :grimacing:
