We launched Instagram Direct in 2013 as a way to share moments with one person or a smaller group. Now, more than 85 million people use Direct each month to send jokes, family videos, travel photos, and other moments meant only for a handful of people. Today, we’re announcing improvements to Instagram Direct including threaded messages and sending content from your feed as a direct message.

Threaded messages make it easier to go back and forth with the people you talk to the most. Instead of creating a new conversation every time you send a photo or video, your threads are based on the people, on them – and your moments flow along naturally. We’ve also added the ability to name your groups, a quick camera feature to reply with a selfie on the fly, and larger-than-life emoji for when there’s just no words.
Today’s updates also bring a new way to start conversations around what you see on Instagram. When you find something that inspires you or you find funny, your first instinct how to get usa phone number is often to share it with friends who you know will appreciate it. Today, people do this by @-mentioning friends in comments, so much so that nearly 40% of comments include an @-mention. This update has made it easier to share the content you love.
Now, you’ll find an arrow next to the comment icons and below every post. Tap it to send that post to a friend or group as a message using Instagram Direct. It will appear as part of your conversation, and you can tap on the photo or video to view and like the original post. You can also send hashtags and page locations by tapping the arrow icon in the top right corner.
Privacy works the same way it has always on Instagram. Photos and videos sent via Direct technology are only visible to people who have already been able to see them. If the owner of a photo or video has their account set to private, only people who follow their account will be able to see it if it’s sent as a Direct message. And, as always, you own your photos and videos.
With these changes to driving, it’s easier to connect with the things you love. We hope this helps bring the community closer together than ever before.
