Instagram could include private messages before the end of the year
The Instagram team doesn't seem to take a moment's rest this year. And it is that after its purchase by Facebook, the introduction of the videos , of the aadvertisements and its recent arrival on the Windows Phone platform, now a new feature is rumored to be about to arrive: the private messaging One more step towards becoming a complete social network in which photos and videos would continue to be the protagonists, but offering more social possibilities to users.
The rumors come from the specialized media GigaOm, where they affirm that well-positioned sources in the company have confirmed the next messaging function. It would be a service included in the same application that, presumably, would make it possible to establish direct and instantaneous contact between users and private In fact, the same sources comment that the company is even testing group chats to launch the same message to a group of users.
In fact, the information that has emerged says that the arrival of this messaging function would be scheduled for before the end of the yearThus, by means of an update of the application in the coming weeks Instagram it would prepare before the Christmas holidays to allow sharing photos and videos and comment anything about it among your usersA most logical step in the evolution of this social network given the widespread use of the comments sectionto broadly discuss or comment on any issue. Something that made the conversations of some users public and that might not be liked by everyone.
We must not lose sight of the proliferation of unofficial tools attached to Instagram and focused on offering the possibility to talk privately between users of this social network. This is the case of Instamessage, which even allows users to send messages to those users who are not followers of InstagramA tool that can be used to make contact, flirt or comment on details about an image or any issue.
In addition, messaging is currently at a critical point in the world of smartphones The clearest case is that of the well-known Snapchat, which is increasingly attracting the attention of more users and investors. A tool that is causing a sensation among the youngest by being able to immediately contact each other and being able to send videos and photographs that self-destruct after a few seconds The other clear example is WhatsApp, the star messaging application that continues to grow and add users to its ranks day after day.
In short, a logical question that could further complete this photography and video social network The question is whether the company that owns, Facebook, you won't end up creating a social network even more prolific and famous than your own. For now we will have to wait for Instagram or Facebook to confirm this informationSomething that could happen in a short time, if the rumors are true.
