Get ready for more control over your Instagram direct messages! After years of waiting, Instagram has finally rolled out a long-awaited update that allows users to edit sent messages within a 15-minute window. This means you can fix typos, clarify thoughts, or even avoid sending that accidental love confession to your college buddy.
But the updates don’t stop there! Here’s what else is new:
- Pin Your Favorite Chats: Stay connected to the conversations you care about most by pinning up to three chats to the top of your DM inbox, making them easily accessible for ongoing discussions.
- Control Read Receipts: Choose whether you want to see or show read receipts in your DMs, offering more privacy control over your communication.
- Spruce Up Your DMs: Express yourself with new DM themes, some featuring fun animations. You can also save your favorite stickers for quick access in future conversations.
These updates join a growing list of changes Meta has been making to enhance the Instagram experience. Recent additions include testing a close friends photo grid and introducing customizable story templates.
So, what are you waiting for? Update your Instagram app and explore the new features to make your DM experience smoother, more organized, and more fun!
