Instagram Brings New Direct Messages, Vanishing Live Videos, DMs Features; Kendall Jenner Finally Back On IG!
ByInstagram has recently rolled out new features on the social media platform including Direct Messages and Vanishing Live Videos. The updates are slated to rollout globally in the following weeks. Moreover, a "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" actress just reappeared on IG.
Instagram is reportedly set on continuing their pressure-free manta by rolling out with disappearing direct messages. Note that this feature will let users send videos and photos to their friends and social media groups that disappear after having been viewed. Moreover, the sender would also be notified by IG if the receiver has taken a screenshot like in Snapchat or replayed the message, MacRumors reported.
Instagram also revealed its plans to include transient live videos to its platform. The company has also included live video as a new UI option in the story camera. The feature will reportedly allow users to go live for up to an hour.
Additionally, Boomerang was also added. Note that similar to the social media platform Facebook, friends on Instagram would also get notifications once the stream begins. Moreover, friends may also comment as the event unfolds.
Live video will appear in the Explore Tab for users to see trending and most popular live videos. Moreover, the videos will just disappear when the stream is over. The live video will roll out worldwide in a few weeks while disappearing photos and videos in direct messages are currently in the Instagram app already.
