how to tell if a dm has been read ?

Introduction

Direct messages (DMs) are a great way to communicate with your friends and followers on Instagram. But how do you know if the person you’re DMing has actually read your message?

In this article, I’ll show you how to tell if a DM has been read on Instagram. I’ll also explain how to turn off read receipts if you don’t want the recipient to know when you’ve read their message.

How do read receipts work on Instagram?

By default, Instagram shows the sender of a DM when the recipient has read their message. This is called a “read receipt.”

The read receipt appears below the message. It says “Seen” and the time and date the message was read.

If the recipient has not read your message, the read receipt will say “Delivered.”

How to Tell if a DM Has Been Read

There are a few ways to tell if a DM has been read on Instagram.

• Check for the “Seen” status: The easiest way to tell if a DM has been read is to look for the “Seen” status. If the message says “Seen,” then the recipient has read it.
• Look for the timestamp: Another way to tell if a DM has been read is to look at the timestamp. If the timestamp is different than the time you sent the message, then the recipient has read it.
• Ask the recipient: If you’re really not sure if a DM has been read, you can always ask the recipient.

What If I Don’t Want the Recipient to Know I’ve Read Their DM?

If you don’t want the recipient of your DM to know when you’ve read their message, you can turn off read receipts.

To turn off read receipts, go to your profile and tap the three lines in the top right corner. Then, tap “Settings” and “Privacy.” Scroll down and tap “Message Requests.” Under “Read Receipts,” tap “Off.”
