Over the years, Instagram has become more than just a photography social network. With the arrival of stories, business accounts, and advertising, it has gradually changed, becoming a great showcase for products and brands. Additionally, the developers of the application have also added valuable social features, such as the instant messaging system. And it is with this characteristic that the acronym DM is related.
DM refers to direct messages between different users. This acronym comes from Direct Messages. Thus, when a user requests to be contacted by DM, it is actually asking us to send a direct and private message. Generally, these types of messages can be sent to all users, no matter how popular they are. However, for privacy reasons, some users have disabled this option.
To access direct messages, simply tap on the paper plane icon in the upper right-hand corner of the home page.
