Instagram Swipe Reply Feature | Fix on iPhone

how to fix if the swipe reply option is,not working on the instagram app on your,iphone hi everybody welcome back to our,channel i am bhima from app guide and in,this guide video i will simply show you,the way on how you can fix if the swipe,reply feature is not working on your,iphone but before we get started with,this video if you're new to our channel,then make sure to leave a like hit that,subscribe button and without any further,ado let's get started with today's video,so first of all i will simply show you,what the issue is for example if i go,ahead and open up my instagram app and,if i go to my dm section right over here,and if i try to open up a chat screen,the issue over here is that you can see,a list of messages which i have received,from this person and you can in order to,reply to those messages first of all you,could simply type in anything however if,you wanted to actually reply to a,specific message what you could do is,first of all you could long press and,then hold on it and you'll basically be,able to find the option which says reply,the other thing you could do was if you,wanted to reply to that specific message,you could simply swipe right on the,specific message and you would be able,to be reply to that particular message,but assuming that this option is not,working for you the very first thing you,want to verify is that whether or not,you're using or you're on the chat,screen on the vanish mode for example,you can see that this is a normal chat,screen vanish mode generally means that,the messages are going to disappear,after you view it so in order to turn on,vanish mode you can simply swipe up just,to verify whether you're on vanish mode,because i have tried this myself the,swipe feature on instagram does not work,on vanish mode that is a limitation from,instagram map itself so if you're,chatting with someone on the,disappearing messages or the vanish mode,section you will not be able to reply to,that particular specific message once,you verify that and you're sure that,you're not on vanish mode and you're,still facing the issue we will look to,other fixes the very first thing we will,do is we'll simply verify whether we,have an update available on our app,store or not so in that case what i will,do is i will go ahead and open up my,apple store once you do that in the,search box i will simply type in,instagram,once you type in instagram you can see,the instagram app right over here and if,you see an install button right next to,instagram instead of open or if you see,an update button there what you could do,is tap on the update button in order to,update the app to the latest version,updating will basically and generally,fix most of the issues and bugs which,you have been facing on previous,versions of instagram so try to update,it instagram frequently has issues do,not be really scared because they're,going to fix it generally in the next,update,if that doesn't work for you the other,thing i can suggest you is to simply,offload the app now offloading one,basically log you out of your account so,you don't have to worry if you don't,remember your password and so on if you,want to offload i will go ahead and open,up the settings app as we open settings,find the option which says general,once you go to the general tab we will,go ahead and tap on iphone storage,iphone storage you'll be able to see a,list of all of the apps according to the,space they are occupying and you can,find the one which says instagram i will,simply tap on it and what you have to do,is tap on the offload app button offload,it,and once you offload it you have to go,ahead and reinstall the app if this,doesn't work for you the final thing i,can suggest you is just simply delete,and then reinstall the app from the,apple store however i can show you one,final solution and that is simply report,a problem to instagram if none of the,solutions are actually working so we,will simply wait first of all until we,reinstall this instagram application now,what we will do is i will go ahead and,open up instagram app on my phone,and what i also suggest you is that,let's say advantage mode or let's say,that the swipe feature was not working i,recommend that you actually take a,screenshot that the of the error then,what you could do is go to your profile,page and on the top right tap on those,three horizontal lines,and then tap on setting as we go to,settings over here halfway down the,bottom you'll find this option which is,help tap on the help section and then,we're going to report a problem to,instagram i will tap on report a problem,button and then you can see it says,whether you want to report which shake,now i will go ahead and simply report a,problem without shaking over here we,have to briefly explain what happens to,you for example we could write things,such as i have actually checked i'm not,on vanish mode i've also updated the app,i have tried offloading i have tried,saving the data i have tried logging out,and switching o

How to Save Time With Instagram Quick Replies for Direct Messages

- We love Instagram Direct Messages,for customer service and engaging with our audience,,but many of us have burned out our thumbs,with constant replies to the same question, fortunately,,Instagram has quick replies for direct messages,to make your life a little bit easier.,Let's set it up.,(bright music),In this video, we'll show you how to set up quick replies,and give you some examples of the types of quick replies,you want to set up on Instagram,,and stick around to the end of this video,where I'm gonna show you a quick and easy way,to take advantage of existing messages you already have,to save yourself some more time.,To access quick replies, you can easily do this,from the settings option in your profile.,Log into Instagram, head over to your profile,,in the top right-hand corner,,you'll see the three line button, tap on that,,and then choose settings, from there,,choose the business tab option,and you'll see an option for quick replies.,Tap on that.,If you've never uploaded a quick reply,,it's gonna be blank and give you the option to create one.,If you already have some saved there,,they'll be there and there's a plus sign,in the top right corner,that allows you to create more new ones,,and just so you know,,quick replies are only available to business profiles.,Personal profiles and creator profiles,do not have this functionality.,So to add a new quick reply,,just click on that plus button, as I mentioned,,you'll be taken to a screen to set up the quick reply,,type in the messages that you want it to say,,so it could be something like our normal business hours,are Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 6:00,,then below that is the shortcut option,,and the shortcut is the single word,you want to apply to that,that when you use that in the quick reply,,will populate the actual message.,So keep it short and sweet and relevant,to what you want to use.,Once you have some quick replies in there,,if you decide you want to go back and edit,or delete at any time, super easy, from that screen,,just tap on the message that you want to edit,,it's gonna pull you back into that screen,where you see your message,,you can make any edits or changes right there,and then save it or if you want to,,you can hit delete quick reply,and remove it from the list altogether.,So now that you've set up your quick replies,,how do you use them?,Let's walk through that right now.,The quick reply feature,is only available in direct messages,,you can't use this in replying to comments,,on your posts or in other capacities like that.,To use a direct message quick reply,,go ahead and open up whatever message you have,that has come in where someone has asked you a question,that would typically result in that response.,Within that message, when you start typing in the message,,just put the single word,that you've created as the shortcut,,in this case, I'm gonna use the word services,that I've set up as a quick reply,,you will actually see a little comment bubble,with three dots pop up within the message box,,tap on that little three dot icon,,and that automatically dumps,your pre-saved message right into the DM.,At this point, it's fully customizable,,you can actually personalize it,,change a little bit of information or just go ahead,and click send and your message is on its way.,So what are the types of things,you should set up as a quick reply?,Well, it's gonna depend on your business,,but some really common ones are things,like maybe your hours of operation,,commonly asked questions, directions,,the rates that you offer for different services,,how to contact you or maybe even a link to a free resource.,One of the reasons I love quick replies,is that if you have an agency managing your content,or if you are the agency,,quick replies make it easy to have a clear, concise answer,that is the same across the board,so there's no confusion for the message recipient,on the other end.,Quick replies are also great for things,like the medical or legal fields,or if you work in a very technical environment,where when people are asking questions,,you want to have a very precise answer,that doesn't leave any room for confusion,or having to wait for the expert to come in and reply,,this makes it quick and easy,and consistent across the board,,and now for the bonus,,chances are you've probably already answered,all of these questions that you want to set up,as quick replies in multiple previous direct messages.,Here's a quick and easy to way,to take advantage of those previous messages,to create your quick replies going forward.,To set up a quick reply from an existing message,,go into that direct message thread and tap and hold on,the message that you have previously sent as a reply,,when you do that, you get a little pop-up screen that says,,save quick reply, and it automatically populates,that message into a new quick reply,,you can do a quick edit or change any features in there,,and then go ahead and assign a new keyword for the shortcut,,save it, and
