Question

How do I access my settings in Instagram?

Community Answer

Go to your profile, and select the gear button at the top right corner (for IOS), or the three vertical dots (for Andriod). That button is your settings.

Question

My settings notification bar doesn't have a button for Instagram. What should I do to turn on notifications without it?

Community Answer

The way I fixed it on my phone was to delete the app, then redownload it. Then when you open the app it should ask if you want to allow notifications.

Question

Why doesn't the push notifications option work on my Instagram account? I click the Push Notifications settings button, but all I get is a white screen.

Community Answer

It is most likely a glitch on the app, but you should make sure your phone is not on silent or do not disturb.

Question

Can I get alerts if a DM has been deleted?

Community Answer

No, it cannot be seen. The only thing that can be seen is messages sent and if they have been read.
