Instagram is a social media app that allows users to share photos and videos with their followers. Users can post pictures and videos of their day-to-day lives, as well as photos and videos from events or trips. Instagram also has a feature called “Stories” which allows users to share photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours.

Instagram DM is a feature that allows users to send direct messages to other users. Direct messages can be sent to individuals or groups, and can include text, photos, videos, and links. Instagram DM is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, as well as connect with other users who share your interests.

What Does It Mean When An Instagram DM Says Opened?

When an Instagram DM says “opened,” it means that the recipient has opened and read the message. This can be helpful to know if you’re waiting for a response from someone or if you’re trying to gauge their reaction to something.

How Can You Tell If Someone Opened Your DM On Instagram?

There is no surefire way to know if someone has opened your DM on Instagram, but there are a few things you can look for to help you make an educated guess. If you sent a message and then immediately go to the “Messages” tab on your profile, you will see a small blue circle next to the message. This indicates that the message has been read. If the blue circle isn’t there, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the other person didn’t read your message – they may have just ignored it or not seen it yet.

Another thing to consider is how long it takes for the other person to respond. If they take a long time to get back to you, there’s a good chance they didn’t see your message or didn’t bother reading it.
