What is an Instagram™ Quick Reply?
The quick reply is the best way to send Instagram™ direct messages in a snap. Simply put, quick replies are previously formatted messages that you can drop into any Instagram direct message. Available to business accounts only, quick replies help you avoid typing the same response to a bunch of people.
Plus, you can save bityl links instead of having to track them down each time you want to send a message. If you want a deep dive on the basics of the Instagram™ quick reply, watch this YouTube video.
How to Send an Instagram™ Quick Reply
Now that we’ve covered the basics, here’s how to send a quick reply.
To get started, open up an Instagram™ direct message and tap on the plus sign. Then tap on the quick reply icon (it’s a chat bubble with three dots in it).
Now you can add a new message or pick from your list of drafted replies.
If you want to save even more time, type in the keyboard shortcut so the quick reply automatically pops up. Just tap on the chat bubble icon when it turns blue.

Ideas for Instagram™ Quick Replies
Not sure what you should include in your Instagram quick replies? Whether you have a brick or mortar store or a service-based online business, we all have our list of high-value offers that we want to share. By drafting a message with a link to an enticing offer, you’ll always have this high-value content ready to share in just a few taps.
But the possibilities for quick replies don’t stop there. From YouTube videos, to apps that I love, and responses to interview inquiries, my quick replies are focused not only on my most frequently asked questions but the responses that are going to provide the most value for my followers.

Instagram trends may come and go, but emojis are forever! That applies to Instagram™ quick replies too.
Emojis add a dash of fun to your quick replies. Plus, if you use the same emojis consistently with your Instagram account, it’s a simple way to incorporate branding into your messages.
Even better, type out your drafted message in your phone’s notes app first. Then you can simply copy and paste directly into Instagram.
