![Quick Reply Instagram: 20 Best Examples](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/1roIXLU3RQhcR6pcE2ujDA/a6f1969c75c330c2e8889b57606205e1/InstagramQuickRepliesCoverImage_793a91a13cca524e8164710d0cef0ae0.png?q=70&w=400&fm=avif)

In its early years, Instagram was a casual social network for sharing images. Its highly engaging visual content appealed to users and businesses alike, and the platform now has multiple business-oriented features such as Instagram quick replies. In this article, you’ll learn what they are and how to create them. In addition, you’ll find a list of 20 quick reply Instagram examples that you can use for more efficient communication with your customers.

## A Brief Introduction

Instagram Quick Replies are text shortcuts that allow users to respond to [Instagram DMs ](https://respond.io/blog/instagram-direct-message-api#toc-mobile-7)with pre-saved templates. Users can either create them from scratch or pick a frequent response to use as a saved reply.

While every customer is different, certain questions will be asked more often than others. After identifying those questions, Instagram Business account users can save quick replies accordingly.

![Image showing 3 instagram quick reply benefits: time saving, consistent information and brand voice, users can reply to many DMs](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/3bG2Ik3MVv3oyggMQw8cwe/f9806763f631d1cc7dae73ef32847723/InstagramQuickRepliesImage01_a6dcd67cff669909eea83cb94d838eda.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640) 

This comes with three important benefits. First, faster replies save both users and customers time. Second, it ensures consistent information and brand voice. And last but not least, users can handle numerous DMs at a time with ease.

This Instagram quick reply feature is only available for [Instagram Business accounts](https://respond.io/blog/instagram-direct-message-api#toc-mobile-3). Users can access it from iPhone and Android phone devices, as well as from their desktop.

![Image showing 4 best use cases for Instagram quick replies: greetings and goodbyes, FAQ, Sales, Updates](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/39pJUOrgvvhhjrf6fCd6M2/8587d31560057be93bc051ece84ddd45/InstagramQuickRepliesImage02_d781304b2278bff2c51985344cfbeef5.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640)
