Instagram's New Messenger Features


Instagram announced an update to their Direct Message. Introducing a new Messenger experience on the app. Messenger features are only available on the Instagram app for Android and iPhone.

Messenger features allow you to connect in new ways with friends who use Facebook and Instagram. You'll be able to use new messaging features like swipe to reply to messages, react with any emoji and chat with friends who use Facebook – all without leaving Instagram.
