Instagram is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but it can be frustrating when people DM you without asking. If you want to turn off DMs on Instagram, there are a few steps you can take. First, go to your account settings and select “Privacy.” Under “Who can send you messages,” uncheck the box next to “Everyone.” This will only allow people who you’ve added as friends on Instagram to send you messages. If you want to completely turn off DMs on Instagram, you can also disable them from your phone’s settings. To do this, open the Instagram app and tap on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. From here, tap on “Settings” and then under “Messages,” uncheck the box next to “DMs.” ..
