Direct messages (DMs) on Instagram allow users to send private messages, photos, and videos to their followers. DMs can be used for a variety of purposes, such as staying in touch with friends and family, sharing updates, or promoting products or services.
To check your DMs on Instagram, simply tap the paper airplane icon in the top right corner of the home screen. This will open your DM inbox, where you will see a list of all your conversations. You can tap on a conversation to view the messages, or you can swipe left to delete it.
