Sorry but I didn’t get the point: why message deletion would help with auto reply?

[steffanjensen]

Let's say i want to reply to all my messages. IG is limited to only scrape last 20 messages trough api. By deleting each message on reply, we are able to reply all messages.

Other asking for this feature: https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/issues/1056 https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/issues/567

I think we need just to add pagination to get all messages request
