Instagram DMLink Generator

ig.me is Meta's short domain for Instagram. A link in the form ig.me/m/yourname opens a direct message thread with that account. On a phone it opens the Instagram app; on a computer it opens Instagram on the web.

It saves people a few taps: they don't have to find your profile and then the Message button. That matters when you want bookings, orders or questions.

Meta made these links with business and creator accounts in mind, and that's where they work most reliably. They usually work for personal accounts too, but test yours from another account before you print it.

Whoever taps the link needs to be logged in to Instagram to send a message. If they don't follow you, their message may land in your message requests instead of your main inbox, so check there too.

Anywhere you'd say message me:

• Your link-in-bio page, as a Message me button.
• Your website's contact page or footer.
• Email signatures and newsletters.
• Menus, packaging, business cards and posters, as a QR code.
• Your other social profiles, to move a chat to Instagram.

Tell people what to send. DM us MENU for today's specials gets more messages than a bare link. If you use saved or automated replies, set one up for the word you mention.

Check your message settings too. Instagram lets you choose who can message you and where their messages land, which decides whether new people reach your inbox or your requests.

Once your link is out, messages can pick up fast. Save quick replies for common questions like prices, hours and shipping, and say how soon you usually reply.

Professional accounts can sort chats into Primary and General folders, which helps keep orders apart from everything else.
