Deleting dms

If I swipe left on a dm it gives me the option to delete it. What I want to know is if I delete it will it come back if the recipient responds to my message? I don’t want it sitting in my notification wall but I want to see if I get a response

Instagram's notification system can be a bit confusing, especially when managing DMs. When you delete a message from your notification wall, it won't show up again even if they respond - which can be frustrating if you're waiting for replies from multiple people.

Since you want to keep track of responses without the clutter, I've found that using a proper DM management tool can help organize everything better. A tool I've had good experience with is Manychat - it helps you manage conversations and automatically organize responses, so you don't have to worry about missing replies or dealing with notification clutter.

In the meantime, instead of deleting the notification, you might want to mark the conversation as read (by tapping and holding) - this will clear it from your notification wall but keep the chat accessible in your DM inbox. This way you won't miss any responses while keeping your notification area clean.
