Instagram How To Direct Message
To send your first DM on Instagram, take a picture as you generally would. You could use all the same filters to "DM photos" as you could with all various other Instagram posts. When you're ready to send it straight to a person (or a group of individuals)-- tap NEXT as usual.
From the Share to menu in the direction of the top of the screen, faucet DIRECT (see # 1 in screenshot listed 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.
Currently scroll with your list of Instagram contacts as well as touch the circle alongside their name so that an environment-friendly "check mark" appears. NOTE: you can select more than one recipient if you want to share a message or image with a group of people.
When you're ready to send out the image as well as message, tap SEND TO (NAME).
When they open Instagram, they'll be presented with a notice on the "mailbox" symbol as highlighted in the screenshot below.
After tapping that mailbox, they'll see that a brand-new message as been sent from you.
When they tap the message, it exists to them in the layout illustrated below.
From here they could respond to your message.
If/when they do, you will certainly have a notification icon in your mailbox.
The "blue bubble" (see screenshot) illustrates that the image has been commented on (as well as the length of time ago).
When you touch the 'response' in your mail box, you'll be have the ability to see their response, and continue the 'conversation' if you would certainly like.
That's it!
