Instagram How To Direct Message
To send your very first DM on Instagram, take a picture as you normally would. You can apply all the same filters to "DM photos" as you could with all other Instagram blog posts. When you prepare to send it straight to someone (or a team of people)-- tap NEXT as usual.
From the Share to menu in the direction of the top of the display, faucet DIRECT (see # 1 in screenshot below). Currently faucet inside the Write a caption ... window, and also kind out your message (see # 2 in screenshot below).
When you're done composing your message, tap OK.
Now scroll through your checklist of Instagram contacts as well as touch the circle beside their name to ensure that a green "check mark" appears. KEEP IN MIND: you could pick greater than one recipient if you want to share a message or image with a team of individuals.
When you're ready to send out the picture as well as message, tap SEND TO (NAME).
When they open Instagram, they'll be presented with an alert on the "mailbox" symbol as shown in the screenshot listed below.
Upon tapping that mailbox, they'll see that a new message as been sent out from you.
When they tap the message, it's presented to them in the format showed below.
From here they could react to your message.
If/when they do, you will have a notification icon in your mail box.
The "blue bubble" (see screenshot) highlights that the photo has been talked about (as well as how long ago).
When you touch the 'response' in your mail box, you'll be have the ability to watch their response, as well as carry on the 'conversation' if you 'd such as.
That's it!
