New Instagram update to make chats convenient like WhatsApp: Here’s what it is

There’s no dearth of messaging platforms on the web, but Instagram DMs have likely become a big part of your online life.

With plans to integrate three of its messaging platforms, Facebook is introducing new features for the users of its multiple apps every few days. First, it was the addition of ‘unsend’ message feature in Facebook Messenger and now it is Instagram.

An app researcher who goes by Jane Manchun Wong, spotted the prototype showing Instagram as it heads toward making its direct messaging service – Direct – accessible through the web browser. “Instagram has remotely disabled access to Direct on Web prototype … but it’s too late,” she said.
