Anyone who uses Instagram frequently must have noticed that sometimes a message from someone unknown pops up there. Instead of appearing among your top chats, they are tagged as Instagram message requests. While some of these messages may even be harmless, the truth is that most of them tend to be spam or contain inappropriate and completely unsolicited content.
Fortunately, there is an easy way to disable Instagram message requests. Are you curious to know how to do this on your social media profile? So, just check out our step-by-step guide below!
Disable requests for Instagram messages
First of all, it is worth noting that we will do the tutorial on an Android device, but the steps are identical on the iPhone. So, just follow the guide normally on any smartphone that has Instagram installed and you will have no problem.
Paso 1: To get started, open the Instagram application on your smartphone. Go to your profile and click on the three vertical dashes on the right of the screen.
Paso 2– In the tab that opens, simply click on the “Settings” option.
Paso 3: In the new window, click on “Privacy” to continue.
Paso 4: You will see some new options regarding the privacy of your account. Click on “Messages” to continue.
Paso 5: In the “Other people” tab, you will see the options for “Other people on Facebook” and “Other people on Instagram”. You can perform this step in these two options or simply in the Instagram part if you want.
Click on these options to continue.
Paso 6: When doing this, you must select the option “Do not receive requests”. As we mentioned, you can do this only with respect to Instagram or also perform this step with respect to Facebook.
That’s it, you will have disabled the messaging requests on your Instagram. It is a fairly easy procedure to perform, don’t you think?
Of course, if you prefer, you can also reverse this whole process by going back to the requests menu and allowing them to appear again. Our only suggestion if you do this is not to click on any strange links that you receive in these messages as they may have malware or be a scam.
