Instagram anonymous message — How to create and create stories with NGL

Over the last few years, we have seen the widespread popularity of bots that allow you to send anonymous Instagram or Telegram messages. Of course, these bots lost a significant part of their popularity over time, mainly because there were doubts about their level of user data security. On the other hand, their developers forced you to pass prerequisites. (like joining Telegram channels especially)

But even though the usage of these bots and tools decreased, the idea of anonymous conversation never lost its appeal. For some time now, the term “NGL” has appeared abundantly in users’ Instagram stories and bios, and this service once again allows you to send anonymous Instagram messages. But what exactly is NGL, how should it be used, what data does it collect from you, and should you be using it? In this article, we will answer all these and other questions.

What is NGL?

Like the tools we discussed at the beginning of the article, NGL is also a new tool among the many anonymous messaging services of Instagram, Telegram, and other similar networks. Even the website Tumblr not too long ago allowed you to send anonymous messages to others. Of course, it also faced protests, mainly because it provided the possibility of abusing anonymity and sending messages containing hateful and threatening content.

As a result, NGL cannot be considered a completely new tool; in fact, it has only recently made its way to the Instagram application. In this regard, it is interesting that the NGL application was initially launched in November 2021. Still, it took nearly a year to become extremely popular and widely used suddenly.

The NGL app provides users with a specific and unique link that can then be shared on an Instagram story or bio. Once the link is shared, a person’s followers can send them anonymous messages.

The NGL application does not reveal the identity of the person sending the message to the recipient. Therefore, your identity remains unknown, and the person who published the link cannot identify you under any circumstances unless you have written the text of your message in a way that is recognizable to him.

The most exciting point is that although the identity of the sender of the message is not disclosed, it is still possible to reply to him. You can share your responses to the anonymous Instagram message in the story.

What is the NGL link on Instagram?

The NGL link, which is abundantly seen in Instagram stories these days, is a unique link created by the NGL application. After clicking on that link, you will be redirected to the application. Therefore, both the sender and the receiver of the anonymous Instagram message must have the NGL application installed on their mobile phone so that the conversation can be carried out correctly.

If you want to find the link to send an anonymous message to any user on Instagram, the best places to search would be their story or bio. But naturally, there is no guarantee that all users have accessed this service. Continue reading so that in the next part of the article, we will introduce you to how to use NGL and send anonymous Instagram messages.

1. Download and install the NGL application
   You first need to download and install the NGL application from one of the two stores, Google Play (+) or Apple App Store (+).

After searching, you will see an application called “NGL – Anonymous Q&A.”

Tap on it, then go to the “Install” button and let the app install on your smartphone.

2. Copy the NGL link
   After completing the download and installation process, enter the NGL application.
   When you open the app for the first time, you will be asked to enter your Instagram username.

After doing this, the NGL application will provide you with a link created with the “ll. link” structure.

Finally, click on the “Copy Link” option to copy the NGL link.

3. Using link stickers on Instagram

After receiving and copying your unique NGL link, you need to start posting the link on your Instagram story.

To do this, open the Instagram application on your smartphone and tap on your profile picture at the top to start creating a new story.

Now you can choose a simple background image from your mobile image gallery.

If you don’t have such an image, use Instagram’s default tools or find your desired image on Google Images.

Finally, it would be best if you went to Link Sticker.

To do this, click on the stickers icon (in the shape of a smiling man) and select the sticker link option.

4. Paste the link NGL

After clicking the link on the sticker, you will enter the “Add Link” page.

Now you need to enter your NGL link in the URL box.

At the same time, you can customize the text of the sticker as you wish.

To do this, click on the “Customize Sticker Text” option and choose a caption. For example, you can personalize your link to display the phrase “Ask me anything you like” instead of the link address. When finished, click Done.

5. Publish a story
   After you click Done, you will see the “NGL.LINK” sticker. Of course, if you have personalized the link’s text, you will see the phrase you have written yourself.

To publish a story, click on the “Your Story” option.

Now you need to wait a little while for your followers to start sending anonymous Instagram messages.

You will receive a notification in the NGL application when these messages are sent. After this, open the desired application and see your messages.

What data does the NGL app collect from you?

According to the rules of use of the NGL application, some of the types of data collected by this tool are as follows:

The IP address of the device
The type of browser used
The various pages of the application that the user visits
Time and date of using the application
The time spent on different pages of the application
Unique device identifiers and other similar data

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the NGL application?
If you want the truth, the disadvantages of NGL outweigh the advantages. One of the main disadvantages of NGL and other similar tools is the opportunity it provides to the wrong people to send unethical or hateful messages to others. When you voluntarily provide a link to others to say anything without revealing their identity, you must be guaranteed to spread such inappropriate messages.

However, if you’re with the right people, NGL can be a lot of fun. Reading the kind messages others write for you will improve your day, and your friends will also bring a smile to your face by writing texts that hint at their identity. At the same time, you should be aware that NGL is not entirely anonymous. Anyone can pay $9.99 per month and receive information such as the location and phone model of the person sending the messages and use them to guess the person’s identity.

NGL will also be account-specific in some cases: Instagram’s Questions feature (which allows Q&A sessions) always includes people’s usernames, but NGL can be used to get feedback on more sensitive issues and get more honest answers. . In addition, NGL’s character limit is much lower than Instagram’s Questions box.

How to see NGL messages?

When you’re ready to answer some incoming questions, open the NGL app and go to the Inbox tab at the top of the screen. Here you will see the messages that are waiting for your reply. Unopened messages will be displayed in pink and orange, and previously read messages will be dimmed.

How to reply to NGL messages?

The only way to answer a question is to share it on your Instagram story for everyone to see. To reply to messages, click the “Reply” button at the bottom of the message. Then you will be directed to the Instagram story, and the received message will also be displayed here. Then you can write your answer anywhere on the page and publish it in the story.

When you have answered a question, a green check mark will be displayed in the Inbox’s corner of the same message.

Is it possible to identify the sender of an anonymous Instagram message?

The answer to this question should be both yes and no. The NGL app does not usually tell you who sent anonymous messages. But at the same time, we see a weekly subscription for $9.99, by purchasing which you can get “hints” to the identity of the person sending the message and guess who is behind each message. But in any case, NGL never reveals the identity of the sender of the message.

Can I create several different accounts in NGL?

According to the official website of the NGL application, each NGL account can be connected to only one Instagram account. If you want to have several different accounts on NGL, you must connect them to different accounts on Instagram.
