Unfortunately, Instagram does not currently allow users to send direct messages (DMs) from the desktop version of their website. However, there are a few workarounds you can try:

Use the Windows 10 Instagram app: If you're using a Windows 10 computer, you can download the Instagram app from the Microsoft Store. The app allows you to send and receive DMs just like you can on your mobile device.

Use a third-party app: There are several third-party apps that allow you to access Instagram DMs from your desktop computer. Some popular options include IG:dm, Rambox, and Flume. However, be cautious when using third-party apps as they may not be secure and could potentially compromise your account.

Use an Android emulator: If you have a Mac or PC, you can download an Android emulator like Bluestacks, which allows you to run Android apps on your desktop. Once you've downloaded Bluestacks, you can download the Instagram app and send DMs just like you would on your mobile device.

Keep in mind that while these workarounds may allow you to send DMs from your desktop computer, they may not be as user-friendly as the mobile app and may not have all the features of the mobile app.

You can't check your DM's on Instagram on a computer. You can only see you're DM's through the app.

  • Get the Instagram app for windows from Microsoft store.
  • Install the app on your windows PC.
  • Sign in to your Instagram account.
  • Tap on the "direct message" icon.
  • Select the friend whom you want to direct message.
Hope you find this article helpful.

Yes, you can send direct messages on Instagram using your PC. Either by installing the Instagram app on a PC or simply go to your search engine and type instagram.com on it, log in using your phone number, username, email, or Facebook account. Once you get logged in you can use it just like on any other device.

You can use the web version of Instagram on your PC to send direct messages. Open your web browser and go to Instagram.com.

Log in, click the paper airplane icon, and select the "Direct" option. Then, type in the username of the person you want to message, write your message, and click "Send".

Note that you can only send messages to people who you follow or who have allowed messages from non-followers.

Currently, Instagram doesn't offer an official way to send direct messages from a PC or laptop. However, there are a few workarounds you can use:

Instagram Web: You can use the Instagram web version by going to www.instagram.com on your PC's web browser and logging in with your account. You can then view your DMs, but you won't be able to send new messages.

Instagram's Windows 10 App: If you're using a Windows 10 PC, you can download the Instagram app from the Microsoft Store. Once you've downloaded the app, log in to your account, and you can send and receive DMs just like on your mobile device.

Third-party software: There are several third-party software options available that claim to allow you to send Instagram DMs from your PC. However, be careful when using these as they may violate Instagram's terms of service and could potentially harm your account's security.

Overall, the easiest and safest way to send Instagram DMs is by using the official Instagram app on your mobile device.

The first step is to go to Instagram.com and create an account, which I believe you have already done. Since you cannot send direct messages from a PC, the only option is to use the Downloader for Instagram + Direct message Chrome Extension.

Once the extension is installed, you're ready to begin.

Thanks

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Instagram does not have an official web version that allows sending direct messages from a PC. However, you can use third-party tools like Instagram for Chrome or the Instagram app for Windows to access DMs on your computer.

 Instagram's web version does not have a feature for sending direct messages from a PC. Instagram Direct messaging was primarily designed for mobile use through the Instagram app.

However, you can use the following workarounds to send direct messages from your PC to Instagram:

1. **Instagram on Web Browser**:

   - Open your web browser and go to Instagram's website.

   - Log in to your account.

   - You can access your Direct messages by clicking the paper airplane icon in the top right corner of the page. This will allow you to view and respond to messages, but you may have limited functionality compared to the mobile app.

2. **Third-Party Tools**:

   - There are third-party tools and applications that allow you to access Instagram from your PC and send direct messages. Some popular options include "IG:dm" and "BlueStacks."

3. **Instagram Windows App**:

   - If you're using a Windows computer, you can download the official Instagram app from the Microsoft Store. This app allows you to send and receive direct messages just like on a mobile device.

Please note that Instagram's features and functionality may have evolved since my last update. It's a good idea to check the official Instagram website or app for any changes or updates that may have occurred since then. Always use third-party tools with caution, as they may pose security and privacy risks.
