Instagram Unveils New Direct Messaging Features in Latest Update

Instagram has added new features to its direct messaging (DM) system, including message translation tools, music sharing, pinned content, scheduled messages, and group chat QR codes.

Reports say the latest update aims to enhance the user experience and position Instagram’s messaging capabilities as a strong alternative to popular platforms like Apple’s iMessage and other third-party messaging apps.

According to Instagram, these features will make it even easier to connect with people over DMs.

The social media platform also revealed that the features will be available globally to both iOS and Android users, with web access expected to follow later.
