Can I Recover The Expiring Photos Using A Third-Party Tool?

But there is an Instagram management tool named DMpro that lets you recover unsent DMs whether they are text, photos, or videos.
When you link your IG to AiSchedul, you receive all the DMs in your dashboard automatically. So if the sender unsends the DM or you delete it accidentally, it goes away in your app, but it is still available in your dashboard.
You can even link your DMs to your email and send or receive DMs via your email
So although it can not recover expiring photos, it can recover any type of message that gets deleted or unsent.
