A report from The Verge and several users across US shows that Facebook is starting to merge chats in both Instagram and messenger.

The users noticed on both andriod and iOS with a screen popped up in Instagram app saying "There's a new way to message on Instagram". Including a list of other features such as new colorful look for your chats, additional emoji, reactions, swipe-to-reply, and other feature that will let users chat with friends who use Facebook, right from the Instagram chat.

However, chatting with friends who use Facebook messenger through the Instagram app isn't functioning for now. It can be activated by tapping on the update button at the bottom which replaces Instagram's DM icon with the messenger logo and the chats are given a new colorful look.

As the latest update, Facebook hasn't revealed any information about when users would be able to chat users who use Facebook from the Instagram app, but they may enable it later through a server-side update. Other sources familiar with the matter had revealed earliest that Zuckerberg also planned on incorporating end-to-end encryption across all the three apps, Instagram, messenger and WhatsApp, but Facebook has also not revealed any information about that
