In this article, we'll explain how to access, read, and respond to your Instagram Direct Messages using the Instagram mobile app or Instagram on desktop.
How to Check Your Instagram Posts
You can easily access your direct message inbox from the main Instagram screen, where you’ll see your current feed of posts from the people and businesses you follow.
Open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android device and log in to your account or switch to the correct account if necessary.
Tap the Messenger icon. Your inbox messages will be listed from most recent to least recent. Unread messages will have a blue dot.
