β€‹β€‹πŸ€· How to Restore Deleted Instagram Stories, Reels or Posts on iPhone?

For restoring stories on Instagram, you need to make sure that the story was archived. By default, Instagram archives all of your stories after the initial 24 hours of upload. But if the archive is turned off, and it has been more than 24 hours since you deleted the story, you can’t use this method to restore your deleted story.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Launch the Instagram app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the profile icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and tap on the triple-line icon at the top-right corner to access more options.
3. Choose β€œSettings” from the list of options that show up, inside the Settings menu, tap on the β€œAccount” option.
4. Inside the Account menu, you will see the option β€œRecently Deleted.” Tap on it.
5. Now you will all your recently deleted posts, stories, reels, all in one place. These items only stay in the Recently Deleted section for 30 days.
6. Tap on the post or story you want to restore, and you will get a preview of it on your screen.
7. Tap on the triple-dot icon at the bottom-right corner of your screen.
8. From the list of options that show up, choose β€œRestore.”
9. You will see another prompt asking for confirmation. Tap on β€œRestore” again to confirm your action.

If the story you want to restore was shared within the last 24 hours and deleted from your Story Highlights, it will be added back to Story Highlights. And if it was deleted from your Story archives, it will be restored to the archives.

πŸ•ΆοΈ Decentraleyes

Decentraleyes protects you against tracking through "free", centralized, content delivery.
It prevents a lot of requests from reaching networks like Google Hosted Libraries, and serves local files to keep sites from breaking.

Websites have increasingly begun to rely much more on large third-parties for content delivery.

The aim of this add-on is to cut out the middleman by providing lightning speed delivery of local (bundled) files to improve online privacy.

Main Features:

* Protects privacy by evading large delivery networks that claim to offer free services.
* Complements regular blockers such as uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, et al.
* Works directly out of the box; absolutely no prior configuration required.
