Instagram Direct Text and Reshares Now Appear in Same Thread as Disappearing Photos and Video

Instagram has launched a new version of Direct that puts texts and reshares in the same thread with disappearing photos and videos.

Here’s how it works:
● Simply swipe left into Direct and tap the new blue camera icon at the bottom to take a disappearing photo or video, or tap the blue camera icon in an existing thread. As always, swiping right from feed will take you directly to the camera.
● Tap the arrow to send it to individual friends or groups of friends.
● Keep track of who has seen your message through notifications within the thread.




When you receive new disappearing messages, they’ll be highlighted blue in your inbox. Tap to view them and you can replay them once. The sender will be notified if you replay or screenshot the message. Texts, uploads and reshares still work the same way.

You can download Instagram from the App Store for free.
