Instagram Might be Adding Direct Messages to Its Web Interface

Instagram's mobile app might be getting continuous updates, what with the addition of a dark mode, and the new Restrict accounts option, but the web interface for the photo-sharing platform has always lagged behind, feature-wise.

Well, it looks like Instagram might be rectifying at least one aspect of its spider web interface with the addition of straight messaging. The possibly upcoming feature was spotted by developer Jane Manchun Wong, who has a reputation for exposing features well before they are released by companies, and she even got the interface for the new DM-on-spider web feature to show up for her with what I can simply imagine was some code-wizardry.

According to screenshots posted past her on Twitter, the Instagram Direct on web feature will take an interface that's very similar to Facebook Messenger on the web. That'southward likely a good thing, considering that Facebook owns Instagram, and Marker Zuckerberg has mentioned that he would like to make messages inter-exchangeable across its platforms — I'yard not certain if that'due south a smashing affair, simply a consistent web-UI for messaging on all of Facebook'southward platforms definitely seems like a adept stride towards it.

Whenever Instagram rolls this feature out, it should evidence incredibly useful for users, particularly brands and influencers who sometimes take to respond to a lot of letters, and doing that on a PC with a keyboard would likely be a welcome change for them.
