Instagram unveiled several new features for its direct messaging function. New features include the ability to compose messages and send them at a later date.
Users can also schedule the sending of reminders, for example covering joint school projects so the message is the first thing friends see in the morning. Instagram users can also pin a message, image, meme, or Reel to the top of their chats. Meta Platforms explained they can pin up to three messages per conversation.
Additional fresh DM features include the ability to invite friends to a group chat by using a QR code and message translations compatible with 99 languages. Another feature enables users to share music within the app without leaving chats. They can search for music and share a 30-second preview of any song in Instagram’s music library through group chats or a broadcast channel.
