Whoops!  Instagram Kept Your Deleted Photos and Messages for Over a Year

Once you delete something, it’s gone forever, right?  Well, not if it was posted to Instagram, this past year.

According to TechCrunch, Instagram was keeping deleted photos and messages on its server – sometimes for more than a year.

The company says it was due to a bug, which (it claims) was fixed, earlier this month.

It’s not clear if the issue affected all Instagram users or just some of them.
