🚨 Note: The recipients might have already seen the message before you unsend it.

🔸 Step 1: Long-press the chat you wish to delete
🔸 Step 2: Select "Delete"

🔔 Remember: This only removes the chat from your inbox; it doesn't delete the messages for the other person.

3️⃣ Recovering Deleted Instagram Messages
Download Instagram Data:

Go to profile ➡️ Tap three horizontal lines ➡️ Select 'Your activity'.
Scroll to 'Download your information' ➡️ Tap 'Request a download'.
Choose accounts and information type ➡️ Press 'Next'.

📩 Instagram will email you when your file is ready. You have four days to download it for security reasons.

🚀 Tips and Tricks
Regularly back up your Instagram data for easy recovery.
Be mindful of what you send; unsending doesn't guarantee the recipient hasn't seen it.
Utilize these steps for better control over your digital footprint on Instagram.

🔐 Security Reminder
Always think before you send! Once a message is seen, unsending won't erase it from the recipient's memory. Stay safe and think twice! 🤔💬
