Do you get a large chunk of messages at a single time on Instagram and face difficulty to reply to each of them whether you are using a personal or a group chat?
If yes, you have come to the right place to get your query resolved.
Earlier, there was no option to directly reply to a specific message on Instagram as in the case of WhatsApp where you just swipe the message to the right to directly respond to it.
Thanks to Instagram, it has now introduced the swipe feature to reply to a particular message.
This feature is quite useful when you are using an Instagram group chat where it is easy to lose context due to a number of messages.
The process to activate this feature takes just a few clicks. It does not require any app to be downloaded. Just follow the steps below to activate it.
