Instagram Direct: Send Photo and Video Messages to Friends Directly

Posted by Online Geek at 5:11 PM

Team Instagram introduced a new feature to send photos and videos directly to your friends. Instagram Direct is a feature where the user can direct a photo or video message to friends, groups and families. After sending, you’ll be able to find out who’s seen your photo or video, see who’s liked it and watch your recipients commenting in real time as the conversation unfolds.

Here’s the way on how you can send Photo and Video to others:

• Open your Instagram account
  
• At the top corner of your account page, a new icon is to be seen. Click it to open new inbox. (Videos and photos can be seen here)
• To send a photo or video, an option is available at the top of the share screen. You can share it with followers or Share it with specific people only (which is the direct one).
• Click send and you are already done!
• After you have sent it, you will see your photo or video , who like or watch it in real time.

Instagram for iOS version 5.0 is available today for download in Apple’s App Store, and Instagram for Android version 5.0 is available today on Google Play. Instagram for Windows Phone is in beta. Stay tuned for future updates.
