There are certain sections of people who prefer communicating on Instagram, rather than on Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Now, Instagram gives you an option to share pictures and videos from within the app, even allowing one to share external images, videos, etc. Additionally, users can get access to a wide variety of emoticons, GIFs and many more. Also, Instagram allows users to delete a message.

Instagram lovers have been demanding the DM feature for the web for a very long time. Specifically, because it’s convenient for most people to interact with a lot of followers on the web, than on mobile, due to the screen size. 

It’s an amazing opportunity for influencers, businesses and other public figures that got a lot of messages on a daily basis. For them, it might be a little inconvenient to reply to over 100 messages through the phone every day. However, on the web, this would be much easier for people to communicate with the slider option.

Although these features allow users to send emoticons, images or videos and even get a chance to hear what they like. However, it’s imperative that people know when to use it on a public computer, and one must always to log off, because anybody can acees your DMs or maybe misuse it.
