What Is A Direct Message?

Direct Message, also known as IG DM, allows you to send private messages to a specific Instagram user or to a group of people you choose on Instagram. You can send a direct message to your friend, to your family or someone you want to meet. You can even send messages, photos or videos as direct messages to famous people, but I can not guarantee they will answer. In short, you can send a message to anyone you want. Moreover, you can also use DM to send videos and photos, someone else’s posts, stickers, links, locations, and more.

How to Send A Direct Message on Computer?

Let’s say you want to use your computer to send a direct message or to check your messages directly on Instagram. Even if you can use a web browser to use Instagram on your PC, you can not find the Direct Messaging service as an option when you are using a web browser. However, it is actually quite easy to use Instagram’s Direct Message service on your computer; there are generally two options:

  • You have to download the Instagram application to your computer, from the Windows App Store. (Windows 10)
  • Alternatively, you have to download an Emulator program to your computer.

If you need further assistance, you can check the official Instagram Help page.

What Is an Emulator Program?

An emulator is a program that is developed for android games and applications that allow us to use the computer or tablet program. Therefore, to send a direct message on Instagram on a computer, you should install an emulator program on your computer where the application will run.

There are too many emulator programs to use Android applications from the computer. Thanks to these emulator programs, you can turn your computer into a platform where you can run Android applications and games. In this way, you can use all the Android games and applications on your phone from your computer as if you were on a mobile device.
