Instagram DM character limit

Instagram allows 1000 characters in a single DM which includes spaces, which is a lot less than what other social media apps provide but if you see 1000 characters are enough to convey your deepest feelings.

How many DMs can you send in 24 hours?

Instagram never disclosed the limit for DMs as it differs for different types of accounts; a trusted and old account will be able to send at least 50-100 DMs in 24 hours, whereas new accounts can only send around 20-50 DMs in a window of 24 hours.

If you get a warning for sending too many messages, and you still continue to send messages, then you won’t be able to send DM for a period of time.

If you have upgraded to the new messenger feature of Instagram, you must know that you can only forward a single message to five chats.
