How to See Direct Messages On Instagram
To send your very first DM on Instagram, take a picture as you usually would. You can use just the same filters to "DM photos" as you can with all other Instagram posts. When you're ready to send it directly to somebody (or a group of people)-- tap NEXT as usual.
From the Share to menu in the direction of the top of the display, tap DIRECT (see # 1 in screenshot below). Currently faucet inside the Write a caption ... window, and also type out your message (see # 2 in screenshot below).
When you're done composing your message, faucet OK.
Now scroll via your list of Instagram contacts and also touch the circle next to their name to ensure that an eco-friendly "check mark" shows up. NOTE: you can choose greater than one recipient if you want to share a message or image with a team of individuals.
When you prepare to send the photo and message, tap SEND TO (NAME).
When they open up Instagram, they'll be presented with a notice on the "mailbox" icon as highlighted in the screenshot below.
Upon tapping that mail box, they'll see that a new message as been sent out from you.
When they touch the message, it exists to them in the style showed listed below.
From here they could reply to your message.
If/when they do, you will have a notification icon in your mailbox.
The "blue bubble" (see screenshot) shows that the image has been commented on (as well as for how long back).
When you touch the 'response' in your mail box, you'll be be able to view their response, and continue the 'conversation' if you would certainly like.
That's it!
