Instagram Stories error permanently deletes content and cannot be recovered

According to Instagram's announcement, the bug caused some content in the Stories archive to be deleted without the ability to recover: "Due to a technical issue, this story is no longer available. While we've fixed the issue, your story can't be restored."

Instagram has provided this information to affected users, although Instagram's parent company, Meta, has declined to provide specific numbers on how many users were affected.

Some Instagram users have had their Stories content permanently deleted.

“We have identified and fixed a bug that caused some users’ highlights and archives to be deleted. Unfortunately, we are unable to restore the lost stories and are notifying affected users through the app,” a Meta spokesperson said.

Instagram Stories is one of the platform's most popular features, allowing users to share photos, videos , or text within 24 hours. Special content can be saved as highlights on a person's profile. However, the issue has left many people unable to access important memories they have stored.

The Instagram incident once again highlights the importance of not relying on just one method of backing up your media. For important memories, users should consider backing up photos, videos, and important documents in multiple places, rather than relying on just one social media platform.

Users should consider regularly backing up important content to storage services other than Instagram to minimize the risk of loss. This incident also highlights how social media platforms, no matter how reputable, can still experience serious technical problems that affect user experience and data.
