- 3How to forward all correspondence
Sometimes a situation arises when it is necessary to share information received in correspondence with other people. For this, most instant messengers have a standard Forward Message function.
Since communication in Instagram direct between users is quite active, of course, there is a need to implement this function. Let’s figure out how to forward an Instagram message.
To another person
Unfortunately, there is no official message forwarding function. Apparently this is due to the poorly developed communication system through Instagram. Direct does not have a number of features that are inherent in its “older” brothers Whatsapp, Telegram, etc.
From the phone
Screenshot
Due to the lack of built-in functionality, the optimal solution would be the usual screenshots of the correspondence. The key combinations for phones are as follows:
- On most touchscreen smartphones, it is enough to press the volume down and power buttons at the same time and hold them for a few seconds.
- The second option would be to hold down the Home button, along with the Power key.
- In newer Samsung models, you will need to slide the edge of your palm from edge to edge.
Copy text
The second option would be the built-in ability to copy text.
- Go to the desired message by tapping on the airplane icon.
- Hold your finger on the desired text, a pop-up window will appear with the inscription: ” Copy text“. Select it and forward it to the right person.
This method is perfect for sending one massive letter.
On the computer
Ligthot
The built-in method of screenshots in Windows is extremely inconvenient, we recommend using a third-party program that allows you to take a screenshot by pressing a key, select the necessary parts of the text and save it to the desired folder. One such program is Ligthot.

- After installing the light shot, a feather icon will appear on the start panel. Go to the official Instagram website and run the direct.
- It remains to click on the feather icon or press the PrtSCkey on the keyboard.
Copy text
If the recipient of the messages does not need proof in the form of screenshots and just needs to get the desired text, regular copying can be used.
- First you need to open a chat.
- Find the message you want to forward, click on the three dots ” …“, then click on ” Copy “
- Open the chat to which you want to forward the message, and paste it into the text field. You can use ” CTRL + V“
In WhatsApp
To re-send the received information to Whatsapp, the methods presented above are suitable, but if the number of messages exceeds several screenshots taken, it will be much easier to use screen recording programs.
For example, Mobizen.

- After installing Mobizen, the user will see the application icon on the left side of the screen.
- Open Instagram on the desired page and tap on the program icon. A small drop-down menu will appear where you will need to select the video camera icon.
- Screen recording starts. It is possible to track the amount of recorded time by the appeared timer. Slowly skim through the desired part of the conversation. To complete, click on the application icon and in the menu that appears, tap on ” Stop“.
The recorded video is located in the phone gallery.
How to forward all correspondence
There is no convenient method for copying all correspondence. One of the best solutions is to record the screen with a slow scrolling of all correspondence for the convenience of future viewing.
The second option is to simply copy the entire correspondence using a computer.
- Open the desired chat with the person.
- Hold down the left mouse button and select the required number of messages.
- Click on the right mouse button and select ” Copy“. Now it is possible to forward the copied messages to the recipient.
Now you know how to forward an Instagram message. All of the above methods are not the most convenient method for re-sending received messages, but there are currently no more convenient and easy methods.
