When you’re messaging someone on Instagram, be sure to use the right language. Some people might think that using “Hey” or “How are you?” is a way to start a conversation, but it’s not always the best way to respond. Instead, try to be more specific. For example, if you’re messaging someone about a picture they’ve posted, instead of saying “I saw your post,” say “I saw your photo.” And if you’re just trying to chat, don’t send too many messages in a row. Try to send one message per day or per week.
