In line with reports from back in October, Instagram has now finally started rolling out the ability to send messages from its desktop website. This means you no longer need to rely on third-party apps and workarounds to text your friends while at work, using your laptop.
Up until now, Instagram didn’t officially support Direct Messaging on the web. I talk to a lot of my friends over DMs, so I’ve been using this workaround to converse with them via my laptop itself.
Now, click the ‘Toggle device toolbar’ option on the right at the top. Select iPhone X or Pixel 2 XL as the device and refresh (F5) to reload the website. You will see the Instagram mobile website open in your desktop browser and well, you can now use DMs with ease.
