Instagram Scripts for various tasks automation

This JavaScript has helper methods to perform various tasks automation.

1. Open Chrome Browser
2. Open Instagram.com
3. Press F12 (Developer Tools) or Ctrl+Shift+I
4. Open any chat and then see the link should be such as (https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/xxxx)
5. Note and copy the last long numerical digits from link to some notepad.
6. Those digits is your chat thread Id.
7. Now Copy the InstagramHelper.js file contents and paste it in Console tab
8. Run the following code

var ig  = new InstagramHelper();
ig.startUnsending("your_chat_thread_Id");

9. After that you will see getting messages... displayed in the console window and Deleting... will be displayed whenever it starts deleting.

10. At the end it will show All messages deleted., So you have unsended every message that you sent.

11. If you want to confirm if any of the messages are skipped or left to delete then you can run the following to get the number of messages that you send which are not yet deleted.

var ig  = new InstagramHelper();
ig.getAllMessageIds("your_chat_thread_Id");

After it says All Messages fetched, No More messages to fetch, run the following code to get the number of messages which are yet to delete.

console.log(ig.p_itemsIdArray.length);

12. Deleting messages is kept intentionally slow because Instagram has limit to delete number of messages in per second.

If we delete fastly then Instagram servers detects it as bot and then unsending is not allowed with the session temporarily, until you logout and relogin. So to avoid getting detected, we have kept a delay in the code to delete messages with specific interval of time.

13. As and when it says All Messages Deleted it has deleted all the messages in the chat.

It is very tedious and time consuming process, but efficient and better than doing it manually. One can simply open a new chrome browser window and follow the simple steps and minimise it.

I am trying to keep this script updated to latest Instagram codes, so as to not have any issues further.

• There might be some errors related to Instagram site, not every error displayed on console are from our script.
• If error persists and repeats everytime, then close browser logout and relogin and then try running the code.

• Try to close the browser re-open Instagram and logout then login.
• In the step 8 instead of running this ig.startUnsending("your_chat_thread_Id"); run with more higher number of delay by default it is 3500 milliseconds, try other values like 4500, 5500, 6500 ig.startUnsending("your_chat_thread_Id",5500);

• Refresh the browser or Close the browser or Restart the computer.

If it worked for you, star it.

1. Get list of media sent, and unsend selected medias only. (such as video, audio, photos).

The script or the creator is in any ways not reponsibile for any of your actions. Do at your own risk.
