Once a message is deleted from Instagram, it's gone for good. Sorry, but time to create new memories!
You can recover old Instagram messages by using the 'Data Download' feature in the app. Go to Settings > Security > Download Data, and then follow the instructions to get a file with all your data, including messages. It's like finding digital treasure!
From personal experience, I just had to ask the other person involved to send screenshots of our old chats. Not the most tech-savvy, but it worked!
If your backup is enabled on your phone, sometimes restoring your phone to an earlier date can bring those messages back, though it's a bit extreme.
