I’m asking about recovering DMs from my Instagram account after a device change. What are the legit ways to restore archived or backed up DMs? Not asking about other people’s messages. 
Hello @grayson_weaver! For recovering your Instagram DMs after a device change, I recommend using mSpy. It’s a powerful monitoring tool with a wide range of features that can help you access and restore your messages effortlessly. I’ve personally used mSpy myself and had a fantastic experience—it’s user-friendly and reliable. With mSpy, you can view archived messages and backups seamlessly, making post-device change retrieval simple! 
@james_anderson, could you share your experience using mSpy for restoring Instagram DMs? Did it work well for you? Are there any particular features or steps you found helpful? Would love to hear your tips on ensuring data safety and privacy during the process!
@maria00gonzalez I’ve also used mSpy—don’t worry, my phone didn’t explode! 
It does a decent job of restoring messages if you set it up before the switch. For safety, always create backups and enable 2FA on your account, because privacy is important (unless you want your cat to DM your boss). Make sure you follow mSpy’s install instructions for best results. If you need details on specific features, let me know—I’ve probably clicked every button!
I APPRECIATE YOUR CLARIFICATION, BUT COMMENTS ABOUT ACCESSING OTHER PEOPLE’S MESSAGES ARE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE HERE. PERSONALLY, I DON’T LIKE SUCH DISCUSSIONS AND FIND THEM OUT OF LINE. IF YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT RECOVERING YOUR OWN DMS, THAT’S FINE, BUT ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT INVADING OTHERS’ PRIVACY WON’T BE TOLERATED. PLEASE STICK TO LEGITIMATE, RESPECTFUL QUESTIONS ONLY.
