Instagram Rolls Out Editing Feature for Direct Messages

Have you ever sent a message only to realize there’s a typo or something you want to change? Well, now you can breathe a sigh of relief as Instagram has finally introduced the ability to edit direct messages (DMs). This feature has been long-awaited and is sure to make messaging on the platform much more convenient.

Here are some key details about this new feature:

– Meta, the parent company of Instagram, recently released a software update that includes the editing feature for DMs.
– Users now have a 15-minute window to make any necessary changes to their sent messages.
– To edit a message, simply press and hold on the sent message and select “edit” from the dropdown menu.

In addition to the editing feature, the update also brings some other handy improvements:

– Users can now pin up to three of their favorite direct messages at the top of their feed. This makes it easier to keep track of important conversations.
– Managing read receipts is now simpler with the option to toggle read receipts on or off for all chats or specific ones according to your preference.
– The update also introduces new DM themes, including trending ones related to Dune: Part Two or Avatar: The Last Airbender. Switching themes is easy – just tap the chat name at the top and choose your preferred theme.

And that’s not all! The update also allows users to save their favorite stickers in DMs for quick access. Simply press and hold the sticker you want to save, and it will be readily available next time you need it.

In other exciting news, the Galaxy S24 recently became the first phone to introduce HDR capabilities on Instagram. Leaks suggest that Ultra HDR photos might soon be available on Instagram for more devices, promising higher-quality content and enhanced visual appeal for all users.
