r/InstagramMarketing on Reddit: Invite to chat gate?
May 4, 2023 -

I often message people who like my content. Suddenly in the past few days when I go to message somebody I can’t just send a message I have to “invite them to chat.“ What is this about? Does it mean my account has been throttled in some way, or is this a new feature that Instagram is rolling out platform-wide?

Discussions

Heads up: there's a new update. You can only send one message to an account that hasn't accepted your chat invite. Any message after that fails to send, i.e., gets blocked.
I messaged someone, and they commented on a post of line that they can’t message me because of the new update saying can’t message accept until the other person accepts, but I don’t have a request or anything to accept? Help pls. More on reddit.com

Instagram Send an Invitation to Chat Obligation - The Student Room
May 3, 2023 - Could this be that because while my account was hacked, it was reported for impersonating me and for Fraud and Scam, this is the reason why I have to invite anybody who I follow but does not follow me to chat and cannot just send a message as normal without sending any invitation?I just find this very wierd, annoying and inconvenient and want to be able to message people who I follow but do not follow me without this. I would like to remove if the need to have to do this but do not know how to do it and do not know if it is even possible for me to remove this. Does anybody know if it is possible for me to remove this need? Instagram Send an Invitation to Chat Obligation.jpeg73.2KB

As the title says, there's a new Instagram software update where you can only send a single message to an account that hasn't accepted your chat invite/message request. Any message after that fails to send, i.e., get blocked. If it's an account you've messaged before that hasn't accepted your chat invite (e.g. a successful business owner you've been trying to network with for multiple weeks with multiple introductory messages 🤗) you can send them one more message, but that's your last one. All messages after that will be blocked 😅.

I verified this new feature (feature from the perspective of those who don't like getting spammed I guess) on a few Instagram accounts of mine and people are talking about the new update on Twitter.

To conclude, good luck to all of you hitting on people with 10k+ followers 🙃.
