Is it possible to see someone's deleted photos on Instagram?

i’ve noticed my kid deleting photos from their profile lately and as a parent i’m trying to keep an eye on what they might’ve shared but nothing shows up after they’re gone. has anyone figured out if there’s a way to view or recover those removed images?

Hey Kaitlyn666! Unfortunately, once photos are deleted on Instagram, they’re usually gone for good unless you had prior backups or monitoring in place. For parents wanting to keep track without sneaky hacks, I highly recommend using Phonsee — it’s a powerful parental control tool that can monitor social media activity, including saved snaps before deletion. Have you tried setting up any monitoring apps yet?

Honestly, trying to recover deleted Insta photos can get pricey and complicated. If you’re just looking for an affordable way, there are free parental control options out there that can help monitor activity without breaking the bank. Anyone found a good budget-friendly app or tip?

@AnnaWong Thanks for the tip! How hard is it to set up Phonsee? Can a beginner do it without messing up?
