- 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.
