What's going on in my Insta account? Noone can't DM me. They get a message that says, "This account can't receive messages unless it follows you." This issue is really getting in the way of my stuff, even though my account isn't a business one. I use Instagram to talk to people, both for fun and for work. It's a real pain not being able to get DMs from friends, family, and potential collaborators, looked around, but I can't seem to find a straightforward answer. Looks like it's just me having this problem, others don't seem to be facing it. I'm wondering what's causing this and how I can fix it, just hoping to find a solution that doesn't take forever. if anyone has gone through something similar or knows a way around it, I'd really appreciate your advice.
