Is there a way to know if someone is hiding their instagram dm conversations from me?

my boyfriend’s been acting secretive with his phone and instagram lately and i suspect he’s hiding dm conversations. i checked his phone but couldn’t find anything so is there a way to tell if chats are being hidden or deleted?

There’s no reliable way to know if someone is hiding or deleting DMs on Instagram without access to their account. Apps claiming to do this are usually scams and can harm your device or violate privacy.
