Hi everyone
What happens to Instagram direct messages when you temporarily disable your account?
People can still send you messages, but how will they find your account if it's disabled?

I don’t think it’s possible to send messages once an account has been deactivated. could there be a misunderstanding in your question?
 
When you temporarily deactivate Instagram, your profile and message history are hidden, so people generally can’t find or message your account normally. Existing DMs may still appear in their inbox, and your account should return when you reactivate it.
 
When you deactivate your account, you won't appear in Instagram searches; it’s also a great way to perform a sort of "reset" for your account.
 
When you temporarily deactivate Instagram, your profile, posts, and name disappear from search, so people can’t find you or start a new chat. Your existing message threads usually stay in their inbox, but your name and photo show as “Instagram User” and messages you receive can’t be seen until you reactivate.

If the account is disabled, will those messages still be fully visible, or will they be lost completely while the account is hidden?
 
The deactivation is temporary, so when you reactivate your account, your friends will still be able to message you as usual ,there are no issues with temporarily disabling and then reactivating an account.

it will be visible to those people, you talked before deactivating your account. but no can find your account by searching, and aslo no one can massage you before you reactivate your account again.

Only messages from people who have messaged you before your deactivation will appear. When an account is deactivated you cannot search, or dm it. But if you reactivate it you can receive DMs normally...
