Quick Reply Messages for Instagram

The same quick questions land in your DMs all day: "how much?", "you free Saturday?", "where are you?". Here's a quick reply worth saving for each one. Tap to copy, paste straight into Instagram. Free, no signup.

What is a quick reply on Instagram?

A quick reply on Instagram is a saved message you drop into a DM in one tap instead of retyping the same answer. Business and Creator accounts store them under a shortcut word (Settings, Business tools, Saved replies). They spare you the typing, but they don't read the message or handle a follow-up. An AI reply like Christine does both: it reads "how much for a full set Saturday?" and answers the price and the opening from your own list.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up quick replies on Instagram?

Switch to a Business or Creator account, then open Settings and privacy, Business tools and controls, Saved replies. Instagram calls the feature Saved Replies, but everyone types "quick replies". Tap New, give it a shortcut word like "price", and paste one of the messages below. In any DM you type the shortcut and it fills in.

What is a good quick reply message for Instagram?

A good one answers the question and offers the next step in the same breath. "[SERVICE] is [PRICE], want me to hold you a spot this week?" beats a bare price, because it keeps the conversation moving toward a booking. Every reply here is written that way.

Can Instagram reply to DMs automatically?

Only partly. You can turn on an away message and store Saved Replies, but you still tap to send each one, and they can't answer a follow-up. To have every DM answered in seconds, day or night, off your real prices, you need an AI reply like Christine.

Quick replies or saved replies, what's the difference?

Same thing. "Saved Replies" is Instagram's official name in the app; "quick reply" is what people search and say out loud. Both mean a canned message you reuse so you're not retyping the same answer twenty times a day.

Templates help. Replying for you helps more.

Christine answers your DMs the way you would, off your own price list, so the booking goes to you, not to whoever replied first.
