IGdm - Instagram Desktop Messenger

Instagram is perhaps the most popular social media platform at the moment, so it's only natural for more and more users to rely on it for their online interaction needs. With such a populous and diverse user base, it's understandable for users to want to keep in touch with their contacts through Instagram: whether by liking and commenting on posts, or messaging them directly.

Lots of people thus use Instagram's messaging function, and even rely on it to keep in touch with their followers. IGdm - Instagram Desktop Messenger is a straightforward app that grants users the possibility to chat with their Instagram followers, right from their desktop.

This is an Electron-based app, so it's not far-fetched to believe that the program is essentially a purpose-built little browser for Instagram's chatting function. In the grand scheme of things, however, that doesn't matter much, as what you're getting here is essentially the full Instagram messaging experience, just as you know it.

You can start chatting with your buddies right away: previous conversations will be displayed on the interface, but you can start a new one anytime with any of your followers. You can send emojis, as well as send files to your contacts. Voice and video chatting are disabled.

You can elect to disable Seen receipts: this is done by clicking your profile photo in the interface. It is also possible to disable notifications from the same menu.

A neat addition comes in the form of the built-in unfollower tool: you can check who's not following you back without much fuss. Simply access the Users not following back menu, and the app will summarily display the users not following you.

IGdm - Instagram Desktop Messenger makes for a quick and easy way for users to keep in touch with their Instagram friends, right from their desktop.
