Facebook wants to facilitate interaction between the various social media platforms they own. To that end, they announced the merger of Instagram and Messenger last month. This integration allows Instagram and Messenger users to chat with each other in both apps. That means you can message your Facebook friend directly from Instagram. There is no need to download the messenger app separately. Instagram gradually started giving these updates in different parts of the world. This time the update also reached Indian users.
Today, Instagram users on Android and iOS receive new update
messages. This new update shows an option for this integration. Users
can update later if they want. After the update, the Instagram Direct icon
becomes the Messenger icon. Instagram users can now message their Facebook
friends from here. However, once updated to this new messaging format,
there will be no way to go back to the old version.
The company has added some new features to Instagram in
addition to chatting with friends. These features include changing the colour
of the chat, reacting with emojis, replying to messages by swiping, and
creating selfie stickers. The inbox is still pretty much the same as
before. However, when you open the chat, you will notice some changes if
you change the colour of the chat. The colours of the chat have three
special themes - Love, Tie Dye and Halloween. There are also different colours
and gradients. You can keep it as before without making any changes if you
want.
Not only Instagram, but also Messenger has changed a lot as a result of this integration. This month, Facebook has mixed the Messenger logo with blue and pink, which looks a lot like Instagram. Facebook has also announced new chat themes, custom reactions, selfie stickers and vanish mode. The new features will no doubt enhance the user experience.
