Do you miss a video or photo that you have posted on Instagram because it is no longer in your mobile gallery? Now the photography and video social network gives you the opportunity to download all published content And it is that Facebook, owner of this social network, has to face the new General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR of the European Union. A law that wants to give more protection and domain to the data of the users themselves and by which it allows them to get a copy of everything that social networks keep.Here's how you can get hold of it all.
At the moment the system only works through the Instagram support web page or through this same option in the mobile application. So we can use the Internet browser, either from the computer or through the mobile, or directly the social network in the terminal, in the Configuration menu We only have You have to access this link, from which you can give the order to recover everything that Instagram keeps from us.
If you access from your mobile you will have to indicate your social network user data. That is, the username, phone number or email address, and password Once you have confirmed your identity, a screen indicates that you are about to to request a copy of everything you've shared on Instagram.This means having your photos and videos back, but also a report with your comments, your profile information and many other details that you have disclosed since you created the account.
Now, this process takes time, especially for long-standing and prolific Instagram users. The service advised that it may take up to 48 days to collect all this information and make the shipment. Furthermore, they claim that they can only work on one petition per account at a time. So it is better to arm yourself with patience until you receive the email from Instagram. Of course, we have to provide this email address for them to send the link.
In due time, Instagram sends a link to access a download file.That is, we will not receive all the contents via email. It will be necessary to download the file with all the records, photos, videos, comments and information about our profile. Something that, presumably, is better to do from a computer, although It is possible to do it directly from the mobile if we have enough space in the memory.
