Adam Mosseri confirms improvements in message search on Instagram

Adam Mosseri, director of Instagram, has announced improvements in the search for direct messages. In a recent reel, Mosseri responded to a query posed by the user @ben_yanes during one of his Q&A sessions on the platform, suggesting the addition of a search bar to filter keywords in the message request folder.

Mosseri acknowledged the usefulness of this proposal, especially for creators who receive a large number of requests daily, and stated that he will talk to his team to implement it in 2025. Additionally, he hinted that Instagram’s search system will continue to improve with new tools next year.

Currently, Instagram already allows users to search for conversations through a bar in the inbox, but lacks more advanced features like keyword filtering. This contrasts with WhatsApp, another app owned by Meta, which allows searching for specific terms in chats. For example, users can locate previous addresses by searching for related keywords.

With this functionality, Instagram aims to optimize the experience of its users, especially those with high engagement on the platform. Will we have to wait long to see it?
