Loads of new features are coming to Instagram’s direct messages functionality.
This includes the ability to edit sent messages, read receipts, and more.
Instagram is focused on photos and videos, but the Meta-owned platform also allows users to direct message (DM) each other. This option hasn’t received a ton of love, but that’s changing this week owing to a raft of new messaging-focused features.
Instagram announced several new features for DMs this week, and the most notable addition is the ability to edit your messages. This is a long-overdue option, with the platform noting that you can now edit messages up to 15 minutes after sending them. This limitation is in line with WhatsApp’s feature.
