Amongst video-centric and privacy of users, Instagram also has direct messages as one of its list of priorities in 2022. And to focus on this, the Meta-owned social media platform has now introduced a number (7 to be exact) of new messaging features, which will make “DM-ing” more convenient. Here’s a look at all the new features.
Firstly, Instagram will now let you multitask on the app while messaging someone. So say, if you are scrolling through the Explore section and receive a new message, you can simply reply to it from there itself without heading to the DM section and ultimately not forget which post you were checking out.
Furthermore, Instagram now has a new shortcut, which will let you send a silent notification to others. Just add a “@silent” shortcut before the message, and you will be able to easily send a message without disturbing them. This is the same shortcut that was recently introduced on Facebook Messenger. And, you will now be able to create a poll on a group chat, much like you can on Messenger.
