Hello,

 

I’m really struggling with the Follow to DM feature at the moment. And constantly getting the message below. Does anyone have a work around? 

 

This Feature Isn’t available for your Instagram. This feature is currently in beta. Access is controlled by Meta and can vary by account. 

 

Would love to know if anyone found a work around to this, or if it’s just a waiting game.

 

Thanks

    Hi, ​@clairegf!

     

    Unfortunately, it is a waiting game… 🫠

    Meta is slowly rolling it out to its user base, but it seems to be totally random. For instance, I manage lots of old an new accounts, some of the old ones are also unable to use the feature and some of the new ones already have it.
