By changing developer options, and using "Toggle Device Toolbar," you can make your web browser replicate that of a smartphone! Here's how to DM on Instagram from a computer.

How To DM On Instagram From A Computer

[@pineapples7194]

[@lynaaa]

[@BuniorTech]

[@r.rr.p3797]

This was great, I have been researching "best way to dm a girl you don't know" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Nanarper Londdison Smasher - (do a search on google )?
It is an awesome exclusive product for meeting and Attract the girl of yor dreams without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.

[@MoLtenMetaL7]

The same why instagram won't allow you to see the feeds by the newest first: developers suck big time

[@RLhezo]

THANK YOU, needed to text my plug but i got my phone taken.

[@instagramlives8770]

If yo phone still getting taken that means u shouldn’t have a “plug”

[@Jainmanavtin602]

[@crispstorys]

15.08.2020 - Me, searching for a web-link insta story problem, seeing this Video:
"Realy bro, you made a video how to write DMs on browser ?
WTF this is so easy, who should watch this :D - Okok..208k people....wtf...
oh oh oh, its from 2019....^^ "
Sometimes internet tricks you ;) :D"
Good stuff btw. =)

[@screenpatch4146]

Me on ipad: search insta on app store
Me: sees app
Also me: realised its only for iphone
Tip that you might already know: just use the browser app instead

[@xiao5641]

U can download it on iPad aswell I downloaded it on my iPad even though it said for iPhone only

[@xiao5641]

Appu u can still use it tho

[@zainubfaisal8005]

It isnt working for me..i tried it through chrome

[@First1000Hours]

Thanks! I was wondering where the dm feature was on Google Chrome on my laptop!

[@RoxanneMestre]

Aw man, this isn't working for me. It looks like I have some errors in my "Inspect" page maybe?

[@vagoskapa6339]

can you tell me how i listen voice message from pc?? it says i must update the app but its the latest update

[@aprenticefollower7156]

It is strange, I am using mozila firefox and when I log in to instagram from my laptop, I already have all the features, including the DM, without the need to do anything that you have shown in this video. Can someone explain me why?

[@ericjony6776]

will this affect my chrome browser ? . please reply , anyone ?

[@animeyo.d9871]

omg it really worked for me thank u mate for that cheers

[@markosler8378]

On my Mac, didn't work that well on Chrome, but worked perfectly on Safari.

[@johanfurtado6887]

Instead of this, you can download this app called Ramme for Windows. You can DM, view stories, comment etc

[@prashantkaushal5255]

hi dear, i've a question for you: like can see our old dm messages without scrolling the apps?

[@jaylaaa.s3066]

Omg I didn't think this would work but it did! Thank you so much!

[@sahilmalik3036]

That button doesn't come after clicking expect which we have to click ,please help .

[@dariuscabell9880]

[@ayaana8842]

[@woodsofthewoods]

[@deepanshukataria1025]

Really Really Thanks it helped a lot

[@comical3303]

You're a genius

[@benc6247]

[@davidwilkin369]

you are a genius thank you so much

[@Marmarinosxx]

man i love you thank you so much

[@jennienun802]

the messages that I want to delete were deleted before and now they all appeared on my DM again. Those people were scammers and they don't exist any longer but their messages are still there and I cannot get rid of them??? I made it into a cell phone, and nothing. I cannot swipe it to the left or have a delete icon just a block sign comes up for me from the cascading list?

[@sabafatima9185]

thankew soooo much sirr you have solve my problem

[@ayaana8842]

the only bad thing is that i cant see stories when its in phone mode.. and also is it safe too keep changing the browser over and over again?

[@abbyadam4605]

Wait how do right click when u don’t have a mouse for ur computer

[@somebodyawesome8991]
