Recently, Instagram founder Kevin
Systrom announced a new features in
instagram.
Instagram Direct; a new way
to send photo and video messages to
friends.
Instagram, a social network with a
broadcast structure unlike connections
based social networks, for example
Facebook and others, If am not mistaken,
it was on June when Instagram
introduced 15secs Video sharing features,
now is another new featureInstagram
Direct, Unlike before which users can
only like or comment on pictures, now
with the introduction of Instagram
Direct, users can now send direct
messages to people they follow or from
people that follow them, which can
include photos or videos .

How Instagram Direct Works ;

Right where you use to see photos of
people you followed , you will see two
taps at the top instead of the only one
you use to see before.
Click on the new tab ,then you can continue with uploading of your photo or video by clicking on the add sign at the top.

you can choose someone out offollowing
list and send your private message…
Another amazing thing about this is that,
once the person you send the message
opens up the photo their profile picture
within the message gets a check
mark which shows that it’s been read.
More also, Users can like the direct photo
messages and continue the chatting, not
only that, users can send Direct messages
up to 15 different people in their
following list and also chat privately with
one or a group of people.

In addition, for privacy purpose you can
block certain users.
Whenever you receive a photo, you’ll see
a little inbox icon on the top right corner
of the app, which will send you directly
to your new messages.

Note ; If you don’t follow someone, and
they sent you a direct message, it will
show you a “pending request” rather than
a received message in your inbox. When
you accept, that person can henceforth
send you direct messages that will land inyour inbox.
Note; You need to update your Instagram
to have access to this new features,
version 5.0is available foriOSand
Androidusers and also Instagram for
Windows Phoneis in beta version to
download.
Photo and Video Messaging adds a new
layer of engagement to the app, What did
you think of the new Instagram Direct
features ??
