You can mark a chat as unread on Instagram. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Open the Instagram app on your device and log in to your account.
2. Once you’re on the home screen, you’ll notice a Messenger icon at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on that icon to open your direct messages.
3. In the direct messages section, you’ll see two tabs at the top – Primary and General. Tap on the Primary tab to view your primary DMs.
4. Now, scroll through the list of chat conversations and find the one you want to mark as unread.
5. Once you’ve located the desired chat, tap and hold on it. This action will bring up a small menu with options for that specific chat.
6. From the menu, select the “Mark as Unread” option. By selecting this option, you’re indicating to Instagram that you want to mark this chat as unread.
7. After selecting “Mark as Unread,” the chat will appear with a bolded font and a blue dot next to it, indicating that it is unread. This will help you remember to come back to the chat later.
8. You can repeat this process for multiple chats if needed. Simply tap and hold on each chat you want to mark as unread and select the “Mark as Unread” option.
It’s important to note that marking a chat as unread on Instagram does not notify the other person in the conversation. It is a personal reminder for you to revisit the chat later.
This feature can be especially useful when you want to prioritize certain conversations or remember to respond to messages at a later time. It helps you keep track of your unread messages and ensures that important chats are not forgotten.
In my personal experience, I have found this feature to be quite helpful. There have been times when I couldn’t respond to a message immediately, but I didn’t want to forget about it either. By marking the chat as unread, I could easily distinguish it from the rest of my messages and make sure to address it when I had the time.
So, if you ever find yourself needing to mark a chat as unread on Instagram, simply follow the steps I’ve outlined above, and you’ll be able to do so easily.
