How to view and manage hidden message requests on Instagram
Instagram is a popular social media platform that enables users to share photos and videos globally. The Meta-owned photo sharing platform also has instant messaging capabilities that allow users to interact with people all over the world. However, Instagram’s messaging options vary across different accounts, which include Business, Public, or Private account.
You can choose who can send you a message by changing some message settings in the app. Your non-followers cannot send you a direct message if you only allow your followers to do so. Messages from non-followers are received as message requests. Whether you want to view these message requests entirely depends on you.
