Instagram direct messages are not loading because Instagram is down.
On the other hand, you have sent too many direct messages and you are temporarily blocked from doing so.
Reasons why your Instagram direct messages aren’t loading:
- Instagram is down (see Instagram status on downdetector.com/status/instagram).
- You have sent too many direct messages (you will be temporarily blocked from sending direct messages).
Author’s Note: I’ve been temporarily blocked from sending direct messages many times in the past, and the ban is usually lifted after 1 to 3 hours.
There are several ways to check if Instagram is down—visit downdetector.com/status/instagram or Twitter.
On Downdetector, a spike in graph means most likely Instagram is down.
On Twitter, search for the issue you’re having (e.g. Instagram DM not loading) and check for the latest tweets.
If a lot of people tweet about it, it means Instagram DM might not work.
If Instagram DM is down, you need to wait 24 hours for the feature to work again.
