Meta has rolled out several new features for Instagram’s direct messages (DMs), making communication more interactive and convenient. One of the most notable updates is the ability to send music directly in chats. Users can now share songs with friends using the same integration that allows adding music clips to Stories. By selecting the Music option from the sticker icon in the text box, they can search for a track, which will appear in the conversation with an elegant illustration and function as a 30-second audio player.
Another major improvement is automatic message translation, which allows users to translate foreign-language messages simply by pressing and holding them. This feature is particularly useful for conversations between people who speak different languages.
Additionally, Instagram now lets users pin important messages—whether text, images, or links—at the top of the chat for quick access. This can help keep essential information easily available in ongoing conversations.
To improve message organization, the platform has also introduced message scheduling, allowing users to compose a message and set it to be sent at a specific date and time. This feature is ideal for reminders, birthday messages, or time-sensitive conversations. To schedule a message, users simply need to type it, press and hold the send button, choose a date and time, and confirm.
Another enhancement is the ability to invite friends to group chats using QR codes. These codes, customizable with different colors, can be saved, shared, or even printed for easy use in physical locations. Group admins can refresh the QR code at any time from the chat settings.
Instagram has also recently introduced new restrictions for minors and is currently testing a dislike button for comments, signaling ongoing efforts to improve user safety and engagement.
