Instagram has its default setting. When someone that you don t follow sends you a message on the platform, they will end up in a separate Requests section.
But, if you don t want message requests from unknown Instagram users, you can turn them off. Here s how you can do it.
Don t Receive Requests Feature
Facebook s integration of Facebook Messenger with Instagram brought numerous new features to the Instagram messaging platform, like emoji responses, themes, and more. The ability to turn off message requests for new conversations is one of them.
Once this feature is enabled on the app, only Instagram users that you follow or who are in your personal contact book will be able to send you a message, according to How to Geek.
