Facebook-owned Instagram has launched its latest new feature allowing users all over the world to send direct messages from their web browsers.
The Web DMs/direct messages feature has been undergoing testing among a few users since January this year and now it’s available for all globally.
The new Web DMs have been made to closely mimic the direct messages feature on the app such as including an emoji keyboard and adding a gallery view to photos and videos.
“Sliding into your DMs. Now you can get and send Instagram Direct messages on desktop, no matter where you are in the world,” the company posted on Twitter on Friday.

The new feature is said to be convenient for those who use Instagram all the time, like journalists, social media influencers and managers.
DMs on the web browser can be seen in the top-right corner of the website. You can also go directly to your inbox from this link.
DMs can be initiated via other users’ profiles by tapping on the message icon. Desktop notifications can also be activated for Instagram Direct DMs.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently told The New York Times that “private messaging, groups, and Stories” were the “three fastest-growing areas of online communication”.
