How do I send a profile as a message using Instagram Direct?
When you send a profile as a message, it will show the person's name, username and a preview of some of their photos. To send a profile as a message using Instagram Direct:
Instagram app for Android and iPhone and Instagram Lite app for Android
- Go to the profile you'd like to send as a message.
- Tap
(iPhone) or
(Android) in the top right, then select Share this Profile.
- Search for and select the person or group you'd like to send the profile to (up to 32 people).

Profiles sent using Instagram Direct are only visible to people who can already see them. If you send a private profile as a message, only people who follow the account will be able to see a preview of their photos.
