Instagram now lets you send voice messages to friends

Instagram has announced that users can now send voice messages through the platform’s Direct Messages feature.

“Talk the way you want to be heard, whether by whispering what you’re up to or shouting a compliment,” revealed the company in a tweet.

The Facebook-owned social network has yet to announce details of the new feature on its blog, so specific details are unclear at present.

It’s also not clear if the feature is available worldwide, but we were able to use the feature in South Africa on a beta build of Insta version 76.0.0.0.5 on Android.

Let us know in the comments if you have or haven’t yet received the update.
