How to Plan a Direct Message on Instagram


### Instagram Now Allows Scheduling of DMs—Here’s How

Instagram has rolled out a new feature that may revolutionize the way certain users interact, including:

– Individuals eager to be the first to send birthday wishes.
– Users who want to communicate without coming across as overly keen but also aim to remember.
– Anyone who enjoys sending “Good morning, beautiful” texts yet prefers to catch some extra sleep.

Indeed, you can now **schedule messages** within Instagram DMs! Here’s the process:

### **How to Set a Message Schedule on Instagram**

#### **Total Time:** 1 minute
#### **Requirements:**
– A mobile device
– The Instagram application

#### **Step 1: Create Your Message**
Draft the message you wish to send, but **resist the urge to send it just yet**.

#### **Step 2: Schedule Your Message**
Press and **hold the green send button** until a scheduling menu shows up. From that menu, choose the desired date and time for your message’s delivery. You are able to schedule messages up to **three months ahead**.

#### **Step 3: Confirm Your Scheduled Message**
After scheduling, you’ll notice a notification above the message field indicating **”1 scheduled message.”** If adjustments are necessary, simply tap on it to **edit, copy, or remove** the scheduled message.

### **Additional Instagram DM Features**
This enhancement arrives in conjunction with numerous other **new Instagram DM functions**, such as:

– **Message translation** directly within DMs.
– **Pinning messages** to keep significant conversations readily available.

At present, scheduled messages (and most of these new functionalities) are exclusively accessible on the **Instagram mobile app** for Android and iOS, not on desktop.

Now, you can ensure you’re on top of your messages without needing to be online at the opportune moment! 🚀
