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?
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.
Sharing in instagram chat send the message plus a null message
How can i directly dm someone without getting the invite to chat
Where is the "Invite x to Chat" feature? - Instagram
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 🙃.
i wanted to dm this page but it always asks them to invite to chat. when i log in to a different account and dm the same page it works perfectly fine. how can i fix this ?
