How To Direct Message In Instagram
To send your very first DM on Instagram, take a picture as you generally would. You could use just the same filters to "DM photos" as you could with all other Instagram messages. When you prepare to send it directly to someone (or a team of people)-- faucet NEXT customarily.
From the Share to food selection towards the top of the display, faucet DIRECT (see # 1 in screenshot below). Currently faucet inside the Write a caption ... window, and kind out your message (see # 2 in screenshot listed below).
When you're done composing your message, tap OK.
Now scroll via your listing of Instagram calls and touch the circle alongside their name so that a green "check mark" shows up. NOTE: you could pick greater than one recipient if you intend to share a message or photo with a group of individuals.
When you prepare to send the picture and message, tap SEND TO (NAME).
When they open up Instagram, they'll be presented with an alert on the "mailbox" icon as shown in the screenshot listed below.
After tapping that mailbox, they'll see that a new message as been sent from you.
When they tap the message, it's presented to them in the style illustrated below.
From here they can reply to your message.
If/when they do, you will certainly have a notification icon in your mailbox.
The "blue bubble" (see screenshot) highlights that the photo has actually been talked about (as well as how long ago).
When you touch the 'response' in your mail box, you'll be be able to watch their reaction, and also continue the 'conversation' if you 'd like.
That's it!
