How to check DMs on Instagram
To view Instagram direct messages, open the Instagram app and tap the paper-plane icon in the top right corner, or swipe right from the home feed. On a desktop browser, click Messenger in the top navigation bar. Unread conversations appear with a bold name and a blue dot.
Instagram does not send a separate notification when someone screenshots a direct message or a disappearing photo in a regular chat. However, screenshots of disappearing photos and videos do trigger a notification in the sender's conversation. This page is a mockup generator for design and educational use; it does not access, read, or display your real Instagram messages.
About this Instagram DM Generator
This Instagram DM generator helps creators, designers, educators, and marketers build a clean Instagram-style chat screenshot directly in the browser. You can customize profile details, message sides, message types, timestamps, seen states, reactions, wallpaper, dark mode, and export quality without uploading the conversation to a server.
If you need an instagram message dark mode preview or an instagram dm dark mode screenshot, switch the theme to dark mode and adjust the chat wallpaper, bubble color, profile, and messages before exporting.
Use generated screenshots for drafts, examples, safe mockups, social content planning, tutorials, and UI reviews. Do not use a fake Instagram chat or Instagram screenshot maker to impersonate another person, fabricate evidence, or mislead viewers.
