Instagram Launches New Feature To Help Creators Sort DMs
The new feature could help creators sort the spam messages from their next big brand deal.
Instagram has launched a new feature that will help content creators and influencers organize the “message requests” flowing into their inboxes.
The new update will allow users to sort and filter their message requests—messages coming from people they don't follow—according to different metrics. These include the sender's follow count, whether or not they are verified, or if they come from another creator or a brand.

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said the new feature could help busy creators identify the most useful and important messages from the hordes of people sliding into their DMs.
Mosseri claims that creators have been requesting this feature for some time.
If you're interested in trying the new tool, then you can click the "Sort & Filter" button near the top of your screen, and then start filtering.
“Now when you go to the requests inbox, sometimes it can be really overwhelming,” said Mosseri in a post on the platform. "There's a lot more to do to improve the inbox for creators and requests."
"But hopefully, this is one step in the right direction," he added.
Mosseri promised that Instagram will continue to invest in new features for DMs over time.
