How To See Direct Messages On Instagram
To send your very first DM on Instagram, take an image as you generally would. You can use all the same filters to "DM photos" as you could with all other Instagram blog posts. When you're ready to send it directly to someone (or a team of individuals)-- tap NEXT customarily.
From the Share to menu towards the top of the display, faucet DIRECT (see # 1 in screenshot below). Currently tap inside the Write a caption ... window, and type out your message (see # 2 in screenshot listed below).
When you're done composing your message, tap OK.
Currently scroll with your list of Instagram contacts as well as tap the circle next to their name so that a green "check mark" appears. NOTE: you could choose more than one recipient if you wish to share a message or photo with a group of people.
When you prepare to send the photo as well as message, tap SEND TO (NAME).
When they open Instagram, they'll exist with an alert on the "mailbox" symbol as highlighted in the screenshot listed below.
After touching that mail box, they'll see that a brand-new message as been sent from you.
When they touch the message, it exists to them in the format illustrated listed below.
From here they can react to your message.
If/when they do, you will have a notification icon in your mailbox.
The "blue bubble" (see screenshot) highlights that the photo has actually been talked about (as well as the length of time earlier).
When you tap the 'response' in your mailbox, you'll be have the ability to view their feedback, as well as carry on the 'conversation' if you would certainly such as.
That's it!
