I was scrolling through my Instagram messages the other day when I realized I had sent something by mistake something I immediately regretted. My heart started racing, and I wondered, Waitโฆ does Instagram notify the other person when I delete a message? I froze for a moment, unsure whether to panic or just accept it.
