Following an announcement by Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri detailing the focus and goals for the year ahead on the platform, Instagram has released its first feature roll-out of the year. Updated features in DM’s have a focus on better communication and connectivity, through language, music and visuals.
New features include:
- Message translation
- Music stickers
- Scheduled messages
- Pinned chat content
- Group chat QR codes
While nothing groundbreaking compared to some of Instagram’s other updates, it aligns with a broader focus to drive community sharing and increase engagement overall in the app.
