You can reply messages in social medias like Whatsapp and Telegram, but it is not possible on Instagram. You should just type your message and send it. I hope that Instagram adds this feature soon.
How do you get the reply feature on Instagram?
Tap and hold the message you want to respond to and click on the “Reply” button on the bottom left. The message will then be quoted. Type your message and click “Send.” Above the chatbox, you'll see a message that says, “You replied.”
