Meta has unveiled a set of new features for Instagram Direct Messages (DMs) designed to facilitate seamless communication, self-expression, and inbox management. The latest additions aim to enhance user experience, providing more flexibility and personalization within the messaging platform.
One significant improvement is the introduction of an “Edit Messages” feature. Users now have the ability to edit sent messages within a 15-minute window. This can be done by pressing and holding on the message, then selecting the “edit” option from the menu, offering users a quick way to correct or modify their messages shortly after sending.

Another notable feature is the option to “Pin Chats” for easy access. Users can now pin up to three group or one-on-one chats at the top of their inbox, streamlining navigation and ensuring quick access to frequently used conversations. To pin a chat, users can either swipe left or tap and hold on the chat, then select “pin.” This feature provides a convenient way to prioritize and organize important conversations.

Additionally, users now have control over their read receipts with the “Toggle Read Receipts” option. This feature allows users to decide whether to display read receipts for all chats or only for specific ones. Users can adjust this setting in their account settings under “Messages and story replies,” providing a tailored level of privacy.
Saving and utilizing favorite stickers has become more convenient with the ability to save them in DMs. Users can simply press and hold on a sticker to save it for quick access in future conversations. Furthermore, users can respond to messages with a variety of media, including stickers, GIFs, videos, photos, and voice messages, adding a layer of personalization to their interactions.
To enhance the visual aspect of conversations, users can now personalize chats with different themes. Whether planning an event or engaging in casual conversations, users can choose from themes like Love (soon to be animated), Lollipop, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and more. Changing the theme is as simple as tapping the chat name, entering the themes section, and selecting the desired theme.
In a statement, Meta expressed its commitment to continually improving the Instagram messaging experience, aiming to maintain a delightful and private platform for users to connect. The company hinted at more exciting features on the horizon, encouraging users to stay tuned for future updates.
