We’ve all had that moment when we open up Instagram only to find a message notification from a complete stranger. But what do you do? We’ll show you the way to wave hello to Instagram messages and get started on your journey of social media connection.
Waving Hello to Instagram Messages
Are you eager to start connecting with new people on Instagram? Here’s the scoop: messages from new people will show up in the Message requests folder of your direct inbox. When you open up the message request folder, you’ll be able to see all the messages waiting for you in one place.
You can also check to see if you have any message requests in the Activity bar. The Activity bar is located in the top-right corner of your Instagram homepage. If you have a message request, you’ll find a small circle awaiting your click, so don’t forget to check it regularly!
A Friendly Guide to Accepting Messages on Instagram
Once you’ve opened up your direct inbox or activity bar, it’s time to accept the message! Accepting new messages is easy: all you need to do is click the checkmark button located in the upper right corner of the message. Now, the person you’ve accepted a message from will be able to see your profile and send you messages in the future.
You can also unaccept messages if you change your mind. All you need to do is click the checkmark again and the message will be hidden from your direct inbox. Just like that, the message is archived and out of sight!
So there you have it! You’ve officially reached the end of your journey to accepting messages on Instagram. Now you’re ready to connect with new people on the platform, so get out there and make some social media magic happen!
