[Latest Guide] 4 Ways to Read Instagram Messages Without Being Seen

There are often occasions when we want to read Instagram messages but don't want the other person to know that we have read the message. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram does not support turning off read receipts. However, there are still multiple ways that you can use to read Instagram messages without being seen. In this article, we will present 4 recommended ways on how to read Instagram messages without being seen. So, let's get started!

Whether on iPhone or Android, you can read the new Instagram messages from the notification bar. Whenever you receive a new message on Instagram, you can pull down the notification panel and read the messages. Unless you tap on the message, the sender will not know that you have read the message. This method has one drawback that it does not allow reading lengthy messages.

If you don't receive Instagram DMs in the notification bar, then probably the notifications are disabled. So, follow the below steps to enable Instagram notifications:

• Launch the Settings app from your device.
• Tap the Notifications setting and then choose App notifications.
• Search for Instagram and then turn on its notifications.

After that, you can read Instagram messages without seen by smartly using the notification bar.

The other easy way to see Instagram messages without being seen is by turning off Wi-Fi/mobile data or turning on Airplane mode. Afterward, even if you read the Instagram message directly from the app, the sender won't receive the read receipts. Follow the below steps to learn how to check Instagram messages without seen by disconnecting the internet:

• Pull down the notification bar and turn off your Wi-Fi or mobile data. Alternatively, you can also turn on Airplane mode.



• Open the Instagram app and read the messages.

This way, you can read Instagram messages without being seen.

When you restrict an account on Instagram, its comments on your posts become invisible to other viewers, and its DMs are sent to the "message requests" folder. The best part, any message you read from the "message requests" folder doesn't inform the sender that you have seen it. So, this is another way to read Instagram messages. Follow the below steps to learn how to read Instagram messages without seen by restricting the sender:

• Open the Instagram profile of the person whose direct messages you want to read.
• Tap the 3-dots icon from the top right corner and then tap Restrict.
• Tap the Messages button from the person's Instagram profile.

This way, you can now read the messages from that person without being seen.
