How to disable Instagram message requests on iPhone and Android
Tip: If you do not want to get notifications from other people from Facebook, tap Others on Facebook in step 5 and choose Don’t Receive Requests.

If it’s the notification and not the actual messages that’s irking you, you can simply turn off request notifications.
How to turn off Instagram message requests notifications
This is how you can turn off message requests on Instagram. As mentioned earlier, once you turn off message requests on Instagram, people you do not follow won’t be able to send you a message. They will still see a Message button if they visit your profile (maybe Instagram will gray it out in the future). But when they try to send you a message, it will show ‘[username] can’t receive your message. They don’t allow new message requests from everyone.’ If you need any other help related to this, please reach me via the comments section below. More helpful Instagram posts for you:
