Finally, you can reply Instagram DMs without leaving your feed

Instagram is rolling out a new feature that lets you reply to DMs directly from your feed without having to go to your inbox.

Let’s be honest, when it comes to choosing to go to your Instagram inbox or to continue scrolling through your feed, scrolling usually wins unless it is a message you have been expecting.

The developers also know this and do not want users to keep missing out on conversations. “Messaging is one of the primary ways that people — actually it is the primary way people connect online at this point. Instagram needs to embrace the fact that messaging is that primary form of communication,” Instagram head Adam Mosseri had said during an announcement in December 2021.

So, the latest feature (already available on the last day of March 2022) allows you to reply to DMs in the same heartbeat as you scroll through entertaining videos. This way, you no longer have reasons to leave people on sent!

In addition, the platform is bringing a song preview feature that lets you share 30-second clips from Apple and Amazon music streaming apps to your contacts. Mosseri says that Spotify support is coming soon, but nothing yet for YouTube Music users (sorry).

This is not all; you can now reshare a post to as many as four friends with a ‘long-press’ feature, also directly from your IG feed. The @silent feature, recently added to Messenger, will also be available in Instagram DMs as well as polls and an active now feature — which shows online friends.
