There are a few things you can do to determine if someone is chatting on Instagram.

  1. Check their profile picture to see if they are using the app to post pictures or videos. If they are, it’s likely that they’re not talking to you.
  2. Look for hashtags and other keywords in their posts. If they’re using them to promote a product or service, that’s a good sign that they’re not talking to you.
  3. Check their bio for any information about their work or personal life. This can tell you whether or not they’re open to talking with reporters or other journalists, and whether or not they have any social media accounts other than Instagram.
