Instagram is a great way to share photos and videos with friends and family, but it can be hard to get primary and general DM’s (direct messages) on the platform. Here are some tips for getting DM’s on Instagram:

  1. Follow people who you want to message. This is probably the most important tip of all. If you follow someone who has a lot of followers, they’re more likely to message you back.
  2. Use hashtags. When you post a photo or video, use a hashtag that someone in your network might be interested in. This way, their followers can find the post easily and they can see what other people are saying about the photo or video.
  3. Use Instagram Stories. Stories are a great way to share shorter videos and photos with your followers without having to write a long caption. Just tap “Start Story” when you’re ready to start filming, and then type in a brief description of what’s happening in the story (or just leave it blank if you want).
  4. Use Instagram Direct Messages (DM). If someone follows you but doesn’t have an account on Instagram, they can send you a DM instead of posting something on your timeline (this is called “ Direct Messageing ”). You don’t need any followers for this feature – just open up your DM inbox and start messaging people! ..
