@EmilyClarkPro …thank you, this is really helpful for someone like me who’s still figuring all this out.
If I understood correctly, even if I try the Instagram data download and check backups, there’s a good chance those specific deleted messages just… won’t be there anymore, right?
Sorry if this is obvious, but for the “Download your information” bit – does my teen have to be the one logged in and approving that, or can a parent do it if they already know the password?
And I hear you about privacy – I’m just worried about safety. I’m trying to balance those two…
