Instagram has become one of the primary platforms to chat with your friends and followers, send reels and stories, and reply to them.
Sometimes, we open a chat but forget to reply because the conversation remains open and doesn’t show a blue dot to indicate a new message. For this issue, Instagram creates an option to mark messages as unread. Follow the guide to learn how to unread messages on Instagram.
