Instagram unveiled a private and group messaging service it’s calling Instagram Direct today.
Instagram Direct allows users to send photos and video messages directly between each other. Users will ave the options to send messages to a single user if its private or to a group of users that can include up to 15 people. Unlike some other platforms, you don’t have to follow the person to be able to send them a message.
The messages will be stored in a mailbox and after the message has been sent, users will be able to see which recipients have viewed and which ones have liked the message. Comments options is also available.
