How To Delete All Of Your Instagram Direct Messages

Although Instagram is mainly for posting photos and videos, it has a direct message feature. It offers users complete control over their messages, whether to keep or delete messages.

Even though people have been using Instagram to send Direct messages to chat, it wasn’t made for that. Those who use it as their main messenger, on the other hand, find it hard to organise and keep track of their Instagram chats. People in this situation often ask if they can delete all of their Instagram Direct messages at once.

It will take you a long time to tell the difference between texts from your friends and spam. You would want to get rid of some of the Instagram chats because of this. But Instagram keeps direct messages from people who they don’t know in a different folder. But if you reply to those messages, they will show up in your Instagram inbox messages. This can make it hard to keep track of everything.

So, is there a way for you to start over by deleting all of your messages at once? The options described in this article will help you organize your Instagram DMs.

Delete Individual Messages on Android and iPhone/iOS

A few years ago, Instagram quietly launched the Unsend feature. Unread messages can be resent using this feature.

Here’s what you need to do if you’ve never used Unsend on Instagram before:

Activate the DM dialogue
Keep tapping the unwanted message.
Pick Send Message No More.

Select Unsend Message.

The above actions remove the message from both ends, making it appear as though you never sent it at all. You can always delete a message that you sent but later realized you shouldn’t have before the recipient sees it. If not, you are helpless.

You will need to repeat the above steps for each message because Instagram does not currently offer a bulk deletion feature for individual messages. Of course, you could always try using an auto-clicking app from a third party.

Deleting Instagram Direct Messages FAQs

Does blocking someone on Instagram delete all messages?

The sent messages have nothing to do with blocking Instagram users. The “Delete” option will show up if you choose to block someone on Instagram and then return to their message thread. The messages will only be deleted on your end if you decide to do so. All of the communications you’ve sent are still visible to the other user.

Only un-sending messages will get them off of someone else’s account, but that person must not have read them first. Open the Instagram Direct Messages, tap on the thread of messages, long-press each message you’ve sent, and then select “Unsend Message.” This could take a very long time, depending on how determined you are to delete every message you’ve sent the user, but it’s unquestionably a useful feature.

Can you delete all Instagram DMs at once?

Unfortunately, Instagram does not allow you to delete all of your messages at once, not even when using DM deleting apps from third parties. Unless you use an app like AutoClicker that sets automatic clicks, you have to manually delete each conversation one at a time.

Despite obstacles, you have the ability to delete an entire conversation at once. With this selection, the deletion procedure will only need to be carried out once per conversation rather than once per message. Even though it’s still annoying, doing it all at once would be much worse.
