Do you often wish to read someone’s message without them knowing? I guess probably we all do. We are often too busy to reply to someone’s text, or sometimes we want to avoid some people and prefer to read their messages without them knowing. As Instagram shows a “seen” sign after we have seen their messages, that seems like a problem. But don’t worry, you can sneak into someone’s DM without letting them know. Here we have a quick and simple hack to read Instagram messages without them knowing and without being seen.
Method 1: Read Instagram direct messages with mSpy

With mSpy you don’t need to download a special app from the App Store or Google Play to read their text messages. mSpy works by accessing what’s on their phone and feeding it to your own personal Control Panel.
When you log in to that Control Panel, you’ll be able to review each and every one of their text messages from Instagram. That includes written words, pictures, videos, emojis, you name it. And you can read their Instagram direct messages without having to jailbreak or root their phone.
The best part about mSpy is that there’s no visible app icon on their phone, so they won’t even know you’re using an app to read their text messages.
Method 2: Read directly from the official app

Select “Restrict.” This will restrict them on Instagram. After restricting them, their messages will disappear from your DM’s and will be in your message requests.
3. Now open their profile and click ‘Message.’
