Instagram offers thoughtful DM (direct message) features to improve the overall messaging experience within the app. For example, if you think the other person is busy or has a meeting, you can send a silent message and not disturb the other person with continuous notifications. Here’s how you can turn off messages on Instagram.
If it’s a non-urgent message and you don’t expect a reply soon, you can use a silent message and don’t disturb the recipient. Sent messages will go directly to the message inbox and the other person needs to open Instagram to check for unread messages. Pop-ups will not appear in the notification center. Instagram gives you greater control over messaging and helps users practice etiquette when handling direct messages. No offense, check silent messages in action.
Send a silent message on Instagram
Whether the recipient’s phone has DND (Do Not Disturb) enabled or not, silent messages will not generate a notification on their phone. Now that you know how useful silent messages can be, let us show you how to use them.
Step 1: Open Instagram on your phone.
Step 2: Go to the message inbox.
Step 3: Open the conversation you want to send a silent message to.
Step 4: Before entering the message, type @silent. When you type @, Instagram will recommend you to use the silent function, tap it, press the space button and start triggering the message.
Step 5: Hit the submit button and you are ready to go.
Whenever we want to send regular messages on Instagram, we use silent messages so as not to disturb others in the conversation.
Can you send silent messages on Instagram web
Yes, the ability to send silent messages is now available on the Instagram web. It’s not just limited to the Instagram mobile app. You can use the same @silent directive on the Instagram web to send messages without warning.
Does silent messages work in Instagram groups
You can easily send silent messages to Instagram group threads. It’s not just limited to personal conversations.
Send disappearing messages on Instagram
Like Secret Chat in Telegram, you can send temporary messages on Instagram. The company calls it Vanish mode, and it automatically deletes messages once people have read the messages in the chat. This is another Instagram attempt to make chat secure and seamless. Let us show you how to enable Disappear Mode and send disappearing messages on Instagram.
Step 1: Open Instagram and select a chat to which you want to send a temporary message.
Step 2: To activate disappearing mode, swipe up from the bottom (right above the notification box).
Step 3: Release the gesture and Instagram will activate the dark background disappearing mode and create some secret emojis in the chat.
Step 4: The other person will notice a dotted circle in the Instagram DM, indicating that the message is gone.
As soon as the recipient opens and reads the message, it disappears from both sides. This trick is useful for sharing sensitive media or OTP (one-time password) via Instagram.
Instagram Vanish mode remains active until you disable it from the chat. Here’s how you can disable it.
Step 1: Open an Instagram chat for which you’ve turned on Disappear Mode.
Step 2: Swipe up from the bottom to turn off disappearing mode.
Things to keep in mind with Instagram’s Disappearance Mode
- If someone tries to take a screenshot in disappearing mode, Instagram will notify that person of the action.
- You can’t copy, share, or forward disappearing text on Instagram.
- Disappear mode is limited to individual chats only. You can’t do the same thing in group chats, chats using a Messenger or Facebook account.
- If you haven’t connected to Instagram before, the person won’t be able to send you disappearing message requests.
- Be sure when trusting others in disappearing mode. The recipient can always use another device to record the chat.
Make Instagram chats useful
Silent messages on Instagram are also useful when composing a message to someone in a different time zone. The recipient is probably asleep and you won’t want to disturb them with constant pop-ups.
