Instagram is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but it can be frustrating when someone sends you a DM (direct message) and you can’t see it on your profile page. Here’s how to hide Instagram DMs from others:

  1. On your profile page, click the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.

  3. Under “Who Can See Your Posts and DMs?” select “Only Me.”
  4. Click “Save Changes.” ..
