Who you can send messages to on Instagram
You can send a message to anyone when using Instagram.
Keep in mind:
- If you send a message to someone who doesn’t follow you, depending on their settings, it may appear as a message request in their inbox.
- If someone accepts your message request, your future messages will go directly to their inbox.
- You can only send disappearing photos and videos to people who follow you or have already approved messages from you.
