FAQs

Does "unsending" Instagram messages delete the conversation for person or people you sent the messages to?

Yes, unsending a message on Instagram will cause the message to be deleted or removed for you and the people who received the message. If you'd like to unsend a specific message you have to hold down on the message and press the "Unsend" button.

Does unsending Instagram messages permanently delete them from Instagram's servers?

Only Instagram knows the true answer to this. The best public information that can be found is that Instagram may temporarily keep copies of the messages incase the messages have been "reported". Unsending Instagram's messages permanently deletes them from your conversation for you and the person who you sent them to. It also deletes the message from the Instagram/Facebook data that a user can request from Meta. So from the perspective of the person who received the message, and to you, the messages are permanently deleted.

How do I unsend all my messages on Instagram at once?

Traditionally people have done this one by one, but this is very slow and time consuming. With our UnSendAll App you can automatically unsend all the Instagram message you've sent from your inbox and the person you've sent them to.

Does unsending Instagram messages send notifications to the recipient's inbox?

Unsending an Instagram message does not "send notifications" to the recipient's inbox. However, if the person has not yet seen the message, the notifications which they received for the message will change from the message text to "The message is no longer available because it was unsent by the Sender.". So do not unsend any messages that have not been seen if you do not want the recipient to see that.

Can a person see when you are unsending messages on Instagram?

If a person is watching an Instagram chat at the time you are unsending, they can see messages disappear. With our UnSendAll App however, we allow users to skip unsending the first ten messages so that a user would have to scroll up to see that messages are being unsent. This is considered a "stealth mode" that will hide your unsends from people so they are not aware of them.

Can Instagram detect that you are Unsending messages?

Instagram can detect that you are unsending messages, especially if you create your own autoclicker or use the scripts found online. However, in our UnSendAll App we stagger the unsending process and use a proven "detection resistant" algorithm that has not yet been detected by Instagram. To date nobody has reported that Instagram detected them unsending messages with our UnSendAll App. 

Can I cancel my UnSendAll subscription at any time?

Yes, we allow cancellation at any time through our self serve portal which is emailed to you and also at the top of our webpage on the "Billing" link. 

Does "deleting" an Instagram chat delete the conversation for the other person or people in the chat?

No, deleting an Instagram chat only deletes the chat for you. The person who you sent messages to can still see all of your messages. If you want to remove a message for both parties, NEVER delete the chat, this will cause you to lose your ability to Unsend messages but they will still see the chat.

How can I delete all the messages I sent to another person on Instagram from their side?

Traditionally people have done this one by one, but this is very slow and time consuming. With our UnSendAll App you can automatically unsend and delete all the Instagram message you've sent from your inbox and the person you've sent them to.

Can you unsend old Instagram messages?

Yes, any Instagram message can be unsent no matter how old it is.
