Instagram Scripts for various tasks automation
This JavaScript has helper methods to perform various tasks automation.
- Windows 7/8/10 (Are you MacOS or Linux user? Help)
- Chrome Browser
- Install Chrome Browser
- Open https://github.com/pishangujeniya/instagram-helper/releases/
- Download latest release version (Source Code zip) and extract to desktop.
- Double click InstagramHelperChrome.js from the extracted folder. (This js file is not to be run into browser or browser console, only need to double click and run with Windows Active Host)
- That will then generate a Chrome Shortcut on your Desktop with name
InstagramHelperChrome - Open that Special Chrome Browser using that shortcut.
- Open Instagram.com
- Press
F12(Developer Tools) orCtrl+Shift+I - Open any chat and then see the link should be such as (https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/xxxx)
- Note and copy the last long numerical digits from link to some notepad.
- Those digits is your chat thread Id.
- Now Copy the InstagramHelper.js file contents and paste it in
Consoletab - Copy Paste the following code in Console and Hit Enter
-
var ig = new InstagramHelper(); ig.startUnsending("your_chat_thread_Id");
- After that you will see getting messages... displayed in the console window and Deleting... will be displayed whenever it starts deleting.
- At the end it will show All messages deleted., So you have unsended every message that you sent.
- 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);
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
- 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, 6500ig.startUnsending("your_chat_thread_Id",5500);
- Check Issues Page
- If your question is not existing in issues do create a new Issue here instead of messaging on social media or emailing me.

- Get list of media sent, and unsend selected medias only. (such as video, photos).
The script or the creator is in any ways not reponsibile for any of your actions. Do at your own risk.
For education purpose only.
The script in any way is not doing anything different other than just computer programmatically automation to the task which a user would do manually.
We do not collect any data or information.
The network request is send to server whenever a user does some task on using Instagram Normally, that requests are automatically programmatically sent using this script.
We do not have any connection to the user who is using this script.
The script is totally the similar execution of code to the task which Instagram Website does.
The script does the task on the site of Instagram.com and so the requests are also sent on the Instagram server for the task.
The code of script is totally opensource and is very simple and easy to understand which can confirm the above statements.
