Instagram has launched new Direct Message (DM) features for its users, including music sharing, message scheduling, and translation. These enhancements aim to improve the chatting experience and challenge platforms like iMessage.
New DM Features for Easier Chatting
Instagram has introduced several new features for its Direct Messages (DMs). These include music sharing, message scheduling, and auto-translation. These updates aim to enhance the chatting experience and allow Instagram to compete with platforms like iMessage. The company's goal is to provide users with a more convenient and smarter messaging experience.
Search and Share Music Directly from Chats
Instagram's new music sharing feature lets users send 30-second song previews directly within DMs. This is particularly useful for users who enjoy exploring new music. To share music, users need to search for their preferred song within the chat composer screen and then easily share it.
Scheduled Messages Feature on Instagram
• Instagram has introduced a new message scheduling feature.
• Users can now schedule messages up to 29 days in advance.
• The scheduling option is accessible by long-pressing the send button.
• Users can easily schedule messages by setting the date and time.
• This feature functions similarly to iMessage's "send later" feature.
• Messages can now be translated into 99 languages.
Instagram has also launched a new translation feature, enabling message translation in 99 languages. The translate option appears when a message is long-pressed. Additionally, users can now pin up to three messages, images, or memes within a chat for easy access to important information.
Easier Instagram Group Invites
Instagram has introduced a new method for group invites. Users can now generate QR codes from invite links and share them with friends. This feature can also be used during live sessions and saved as an image for later use if needed.
