Christian Karasiewicz here from ChristianKOnline.com and today we have an Instagram tip for you.
It is how to use a new feature called Instagram Direct.
What is Instagram Direct? It is a way to take a photo or video from your iOS or Android
device and send it to up to 15 of your followers or people you are not connected with on Instagram.
So how do you send Instagram Direct messages?
Launch the Instagram app, tap the Inbox icon in the right corner and take a photo or select
one you have already taken.
At this point, you can go in and apply additional Instagram filters.
Select next and add in a caption or decide who you want to send a message to.
For example, I can select the following users.
If I want to remove someone, I can tap their name or tap their name in the to field and
select the X and that will remove them.
When you are finished, tap send and that person is going to get notified that you have sent
them an Instagram Direct photo or video.
What is neat about this is if you receive Instagram Direct from people who are not connected
with you, it will show up as a request and you can go in and approve or deny it.
For any of the messages you send, all you have to do is tap into the photo and you can
see who you sent it to. You can also see who has liked it, and commented on it as well.
And if you like to, you can go in and delete that message as well. By deleting it, it will
delete it from all of those users Instagram accounts.
So that is it. That is how to use Instagram Direct.
