As we announced at the end of last year, Instagram is creating more investments in messaging on Instagram to help you associate with your closest friends in more smooth and more fun ways.
Instagram is making more investments in messaging on Instagram to help you connect with your closest friends in more seamless and fun ways.
Browse and chat at the right time
Instagram has made several improvements that help people reply, share, and talk:
- Reply while you scroll:Get a new message while you’re scrolling your feed? You can now respond without going to your inbox and dropping your place. This new feature sorts it that much easier and more expedient to chat while on the app.
- Swiftly send to friends:Instagram wants to help people reshare exciting content without disturbing their Instagram practice. By tapping and holding the share button, you can smoothly reshare posts to your closest friends.
- See who’s available:At the top of your inbox, you can see who’s free to chat at that moment, serving you find opportune chances to connect with friends.
New experiences in your message threads
Modify your messaging with your friends via these new features:
- Play, pause, and re-play:Empowered by additions with Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify coming soon, you can now share a 30-second screening of that song you just can’t get out of your head, and your friends can listen directly from your chat.
- Send messages quietly:Send messages without notifying friends late at night or when they’re busy by adding “@silent” in your message. Now you can reach out short of upsetting about directing annoying notifications.
- Keep it on the lo-fi:Feeling chill? Try the new lo-fi chat theme to make your chats feel more special.
- Create a poll with your squad:Deciding where to go to dinner or what time to meet up? We’re bringing one of Messenger’s most beloved group chat features to Instagram so you can create a poll directly in your group chat.
These new features are accessible in select countries, with plans to grow globally. This is portion of Instagram’s current work to improve how you link and share with your closest friends.
