Deleted and edited Instagram posts

You cannot retrieve a post that was deleted before you saw it. What you can do is capture posts as they appear, so a later deletion or edit is obvious.

How detection works

Each scan records the public posts on an account. When a post present in an earlier scan is missing from a later one, it was removed. When the caption changes between scans, it was edited.

Honest limits

This is forward-looking only. Anything deleted before your first scan is gone, and no tool can legitimately recover it.

Watcholy only works with public Instagram accounts. It cannot access private profiles, direct messages, or anything Instagram does not already show publicly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I recover someone's old deleted post?
