Instagram Introduced DMs to the Web Users

Instagram seems to be working on adding Web-based functionalities to the platform. The Facebook-owned photo sharing platform has finally rolled out direct messaging for the desktop website. The feature for adding direct messages support for the Web comes after months of testing from Instagram.

Instagram has announced the development on Twitter, saying users can now "send Instagram Direct messages on desktop, no matter where they are in the world," indicating that the feature has rolled out globally for every user.

The direct messages feature on Instagram has not changed much from that of the mobile app. The option for direct messages appears on the top right corner of the screen, with the chat window coming with pretty much the same user interface as that of the mobile application, with the emoji keyboard and the option to share photos and videos.
