Facebook is announcing an update to Instagram DMs by introducing a new Messenger experience on the app.\u00a0Messaging has come a long way since we first brought it to Instagram. We\u2019ve been exploring how messaging should evolve as we grow.\u00a0On Facebook\u2019s family of apps alone, people send more than 100 billion messages to their friends and family each day. These days, people rely on video calls to hang out with friends, send memes and GIFs to communicate what we really think (but can’t always say), and share funny photos and voice notes to stay in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are communicating in private spaces now more than ever. More than a billion people already use Messenger as a place to share, hang out and express themselves with family and friends. That\u2019s why we\u2019re connecting the Messenger and Instagram experience to bring some of the best Messenger features to Instagram \u2013 so you have access to the best messaging experience, no matter which app you use. People on Instagram can decide whether to update immediately to this new experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook also adding more than 10 new features so you can stay close to your friends. Selfie stickers are a unique hybrid of Boomerang, emojis, and selfies \u2013 and a new way to react to conversations. Watch Together lets you watch trending videos with friends on IGTV during a video call. We\u2019re also introducing vanish mode, where you can set messages to automatically disappear after they\u2019re seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also control where you receive messages and calls, such as in your chats, in your message requests or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
