Animated emojis are getting closer to Instagram. This method of communication, which has been around for many years on Facebook, is being tested to also be introduced in the chat windows of Direct Message, one of the features that Instagram users use most frequently.
Instagram DMs have been the meeting point for many people who frequently use this service, whether it’s to chat with their contacts, react to their stories, or to directly share content with that specific person.
Animated Emojis on Instagram
As explained by insider Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram Direct Messages are being tested so that users can use animated emojis, an option that will expand the possibility of expressing themselves through this chat tab. It can still be seen that it is in development, but everything indicates that when it is released to the public, it will already have completely optimal performance.
Instagram Direct Messages are a highly used conversation window by millions of users daily. It hasn’t had major advancements since it started functioning, but this improvement will surely please many of the users who regularly use this tab to communicate with other people.
Synergies with WhatsApp on the way
On the other hand, Instagram could also have improvements in interactions with other Meta applications. In this particular case, in fact, the main beneficiaries will be WhatsApp and Instagram users, since an adjustment is being tested that enables the possibility of directly sharing a WhatsApp status in Instagram stories, something very useful for those who share similar content in both ephemeral feeds.
WhatsApp and Instagram, in this way, will improve their connectivity between them giving users the ability to make simultaneous posts on both platforms. A small change that, undoubtedly, can mean an interesting improvement in quality of life for many people.
