How to Know if Someone Declines Your DM on Instagram
As one of the most popular apps online, Instagram is a place where an excessive amount of messages are being sent every day.
The app is used by big and small businesses, celebrities, influencers, as well as everyday users who despite sharing photos on the platform, also use it to communicate with each other.
Users can DM both public and private Instagram accounts, regardless of whether they follow them or not.
However, If you send a message to a private account that you do not follow, users with private accounts who are being DM’ed will receive a message request.
From here users have two options; to accept your message or to decline it.
Unfortunately, there is no possible way to know if someone has declined your message request on Instagram.
But, there are a few things that might give you a hint that someone has declined your request that we will go through in the post below.
How to tell if your Instagram message has been declined
As previously mentioned the social media platform does not openly notify users that their message requests are declined. It is most often due to Instagram trying to protect the privacy of its users.
But how can you tell if your message was declined?
The most obvious hint that your message was declined would be if a few days have gone by and your request hasn’t been seen. On the contrary, if someone accepts your Instagram request message, you will see a 'read' receipt below the message you have sent. If this is not the case, then your message is either declined or is still in the request section.
How to know if someone accepted your request
Seeing if someone has accepted your Instagram message request is easy.
All users need to do is go to their inbox and see if the message has a ‘read’ receipt below the message they have sent.
