Find the Collab invite on the activity page
If you can’t find the collab invite in your DMs, look for it on the activity page. Your activity page is also where you receive the notifications. Launch the Instagram app and tap on the heart icon at the bottom menu. Browse your notifications for the collab invite. Once you see the notification, tap on it and select the ‘Review’ option. In the following dialogue box, select ‘Accept’. If this method doesn’t work either, make sure you are following the person that sent you the collab invite.
Update the Instagram app
Since collaborations on Instagram are a recent feature, the app version you are using may not support it. Go to the Google Play Store and search for the Instagram app to see if there is any pending update. Tap on the ‘Update’ icon to install the latest version of Instagram.
Use Instagram on a desktop or another phone to accept the collab invite
If nothing works, chances are the issue lies with your smartphone and not Instagram. You can either use the desktop version of Instagram on a web browser or simply log in to the app on another phone. Once you’ve accepted the collab invite, you can log out and go back to using Instagram on your smartphone. Read Also: Redmi K60 likely to debut in other countries as Poco F5 Pro
