The messaging feature 'Direct' in the mobile version of Instagram can now be used in the web version. The message feature, which is currently in the testing phase, was one of the most wanted features of those who use Instagram over the web.
CURRENTLY TESTING
Instagram brings the direct messaging infrastructure to the web version. The feature in the testing phase will enable people to message from the browser as soon as it is available. One of the most complained cases on Instagram, which has been one of the most visited social networking sites for many years, was the absence of a private message (DM) option for Instagram accounts in WEB use.
The tested feature will allow people to message over the browser. If the test steps are successful, the feature will be available for use.
