How to send Instagram Stories through direct messages
Table of contents:
Instagram Stories can now be sent through direct and private messages with the new application update. An update that will be available for both iOS and Android over the next few weeks. With this, we will be able to share with whoever we want those stories that have made us laugh so much.
For some time now, users themselves can share our photos with other contacts on social networks.In addition, we can share the photos of others (or rather the URL address where said photo is hosted). Other people's posts can also be shared through direct messages. Who has resisted sharing that funny cat video with their partner? Well, now we will be able to send entire Stories to whoever we want and by direct message.
This is how Instagram Stories will be sent by direct message
This update is already available for some lucky users, as shown on The Next Web technology page. To send one of the Stories that populate Instagram via direct message, you just have to do the following:
Where before there was a three-dot menu, now the little paper airplane you already know from Instagram and symbolizing direct messages appears.If you click on the little plane, a new window will open in which you can choose the recipient(s) with whom you want to share the Instagram Stories. The Stories, of course, can only be seen during the following 24 hours after being originally published. In other words, if you share one of the Stories after spending 23 hours in the app, the recipient will only be able to see it for the next hour.
Also, if you do not want your stories to be shared by other users, Instagram will enable a special function that inhibits this possibility. If your account is private, however, your Stories cannot be shared in any way. Now all that remains is for it to reach our phones and start sharing, like crazy, Instagram Stories in direct message.
