How To Direct Message Instagram
To send your first DM on Instagram, take a picture as you usually would. You can use all the same filters to "DM photos" as you can with all other Instagram messages. When you're ready to send it straight to someone (or a team of individuals)-- tap NEXT customarily.
From the Share to menu towards the top of the screen, faucet DIRECT (see # 1 in screenshot listed below). Currently tap inside the Write a caption ... window, and type out your message (see # 2 in screenshot below).
When you're done composing your message, faucet OK.
Now scroll through your listing of Instagram contacts and tap the circle beside their name to make sure that an environment-friendly "check mark" shows up. KEEP IN MIND: you could pick greater than one recipient if you intend to share a message or photo with a team of people.
When you prepare to send out the photo as well as message, tap SEND TO (NAME).
When they open Instagram, they'll be presented with an alert on the "mailbox" icon as illustrated in the screenshot listed below.
After touching that mail box, they'll see that a new message as been sent from you.
When they tap the message, it exists to them in the style illustrated listed below.
From here they could react to your message.
If/when they do, you will have a notification icon in your mailbox.
The "blue bubble" (see screenshot) shows that the photo has been discussed (as well as how long ago).
When you touch the 'response' in your mailbox, you'll be be able to view their feedback, and also continue the 'conversation' if you would certainly such as.
That's it!
