ElenaG, totally — Instagram’s export is hit-or-miss. Quick checklist: Free: 1) Request “Download Your Information” and inspect the Messages folder; 2) Restore an old device backup (iOS/Android) — risky, will overwrite new data; 3) Ask the other person to forward/screenshots. Paid/risky: third‑party “recovery” tools (subscriptions, upfront fees, ask for passwords) — usually scams. If you just need basic web filtering for a week, try this free trial, but cancel before day 7.
