Instagram is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. But if you’re not using the app to send voice messages, you may be missing out on some of the best features. Here are five ways to use Instagram voice messages:

  1. Add a friend as a contact: When you add someone as a contact on Instagram, they get added to your messaging list and can view your messages and comments. You can also message them through their profile or through the “Message” tab in their account settings.
  2. Send a message as an email: If you want to send a voice message as an email, first open the “Message” tab in their account settings and type in “voicemessage.” Then click “send.” Your recipient will see the message and be able to reply or delete it.
  3. Use hashtags: If you want to include hashtags in your voice message, first open the “Message” tab in their account settings and type in “#voicemessage.” Then click “send.” Your recipient will see the hashtag #voicemessage at the top of the message box. They can then use that hashtag when they reply or delete it.
  4. Use emoji: If you want to include emoji in your voice message, first open the “Message” tab in their account settings and type in “#emoji.” Then click “send.” Your recipient will see all of your emoji at once at the top of the message box. They can then use them when they reply or delete it.
