Instagram is testing DMs for the web

Instagram like counts

Instagram is reportedly testing a web version of its direct messages feature, according to TechCrunch.

This means that, soon, Instagrammers could be chatting to their Instagram followers on the web, rather than through the mobile app.

Reader Jane Manchun Wong tipped TechCrunch off about the test, and revealed a screenshot showing Instagram’s Direct symbol at the top right of the web page.

As the feature is still being tested internally, there is no confirmation of when Instagram Direct for web will go live.
