Instagram launched its version for the computer a while ago. Every time we can do more things from it, how to upload photos. So it is a good option, in case you do not have your phone at hand at a certain time, especially in the case of a professional or business account. But there are more things we can do from the computer, like sending direct messages.
The possibility of Sending direct messages on Instagram from your computer is something that few know. But the reality is that it is a function that can be extremely useful in this case. So if you want to know how it is possible to send these messages, we show you the steps below.
In this case, we will not use the browser on the computer, as in other cases. But we have to download the Instagram application for Windows 10. In this way it will be possible to send these messages to other people. The application is officially available in the Microsoft Store, so you will have no problem getting it. You can download it this link. Then, you have to download and install it on your computer.
Send direct messages on Instagram
When we have installed the application, we can open it. In the first screen that we find we have to press the enter button, which appears at the bottom of it. In this step we have to log into our account, or create one in case we don't already have it. When you have entered the username and password, you can now give him to log in, so that the account will appear on the screen.
Then Instagram is opened in the application, in the same way that we see it on the computer or mobile phone. The functions are the same in this case. So if you look at the right side of the screen, we find the icon of direct messages. For those entering for the first time, it is an icon that looks like a paper airplane. Located in the upper right part of the screen. We are only going to have to click on this icon to open this section on the screen.
When we enter this section, we are asked if we give Instagram permission to access the camera. It is not something we have to do, as it is optional. So it depends on each one of you. If we click on NO, it will ask us the same thing again in the future when we enter direct messages. Once this permission has been accepted or rejected, we now enter the Direct section. In this section we already find all the private messages that we have sent from our account. The same ones we have on the phone.
If you want, you can resume conversations that you already had in progress at that time. You just have to enter it and send a new message. Like on the phone, in these direct messages we can send GIFs or photos normally, in case we intend to attach a file in this regard. We can also start a new chat, in the same way as we would on Instagram, by clicking on the + icon to start a new conversation. Then you just have to enter the name of that person and we can start writing a new message.
All the messages we send on Instagram from the computer they will be synchronized with the phone. So the moment you enter your account on your phone and access direct messages, you will see the conversations you have had from the computer version at all times. So messages are not going to be lost at any time, which is certainly something important in this case. What do you think about this possibility of sending messages from the computer?
