Instagram deletes my photos: how to fix

There are several reasons why your photos uploaded to Instagram may have been deleted.

1. Photos protected by Copyright

If you have published photographs with copyrighted material and that violate the regulation, certainly they have been removed directly from the social network of photos. Before posting banned photos or images, I recommend that you read the official rules and conditions of use of Instagram.



2. Reporting photos or videos that violate privacy

What happens if they report you on Instagram? Someone reported your photos to Instagram allowing them to be deleted. In this case, you will need to identify who each time reports your photos and block them so as not to allow them to visit your profile and make the report.
