Recently I noticed that I am not receiving a single text messages on my Instagram accout. I tried to solve the issue by uninstalling it, clearing cache but nothing worked at all. Therefore I reached to you guys for seeking solution for this problem. If any of you could help me then it would be a great help to me. Thanks in advance!

If you're not receiving text messages (DMs) on Instagram, here are common reasons and solutions:

1. Message Requests Hidden: Messages from non-followers may go to the “Message Requests” folder.
2. Muted or Blocked Users: You may have muted or blocked someone without realising it.
3. App Glitch: Try restarting the app or reinstalling it.
4. Outdated App: Update Instagram to the latest version.
5. Network Issues: Check your internet connection (Wi-Fi or data).
6. Restricted Account Settings: Review your privacy settings to ensure messages are allowed.
7. Instagram Outage: Sometimes, Instagram servers may be down temporarily.

If none of these help, report the issue via Instagram’s Help Centre.

If you're not receiving text messages on Instagram, it could be due to a few reasons, including notification settings, message requests, or potential technical issues. First, check your Instagram notification settings to ensure messages and message requests are enabled on Instagram. Next, verify if the messages are being delivered as message requests, especially if they are from users you don't follow, according to Instagram. If the issue persists, try restarting the Instagram app or checking for updates.
