How to join a friend's Instagram direct

Instagram continues with its Stories. One of the best features that you have implemented in your application, and that is used by many users. The photography app is now focused on improving this feature little by little, adding functions, bug fixes and some other news. They recently implemented the ability for a person to join a friend's stream. The user who is doing the direct can invite him, and the invited can accept or reject the invitation.Now, Instagram has improved this feature, by adding the possibility for you to request to go live.

Now you can join a friend's live stream, even if they don't ask you directly. When we join a live video, a small request notice will appear. All you have to do is click on the ”˜Request”™ button. At that time, the user who started the live will be the one who finally decides if that user connects or not. If they have accepted your request to join the live, the screen will be divided into two, and the last one to enter will be at the bottom. Otherwise, if the user who is directing you decides to reject you, a message will appear stating that he did not want to accept your request. Some aspects to highlight is that once the live is finished, it cannot be saved in the gallery.But yes share it in your stories. In addition, the user who makes the direct does not have to follow the user who has asked to join.

Instagram focuses on improving Stories, nothing for posts

The truth is that the possibility of doing direct with friends has been liked by users. So most likely we will see more features for this option soon. But, we would also like the publications to have some prominence. We still miss some features on Instagram, and precisely, most of them do not belong to Instagram Stories. On the other hand, the next news that we expect are those implemented by WhatsApp. Like new Stickers or even a last connection.
