Instagram Direct will also feature audio messages

The Instagram social network will soon allow you to send audio messages in private chats. In this way, Instagram Direct aims to become a strong alternative to WhatsApp as an instant communication tool.

At the moment there are no details specifying the exact launch date, but everything indicates that the novelty will arrive soon, in a few months .

Audio messages will be available in Instagram Direct

In the WhatsApp tool we have already accustomed to sending audio messages almost as naturally as we have to send text messages text. In fact, audio notes save us time writing and allow us to share longer messages or engage in more natural conversations.

As the number of Instagram users grows, the social network has become a favorite for many. Especially, adolescents and young people already use Instagram as one of their main means of communication, even at the same level as WhatsApp.

However, Instagram Direct still needs to improve to be a complete alternative to the messaging app.

Including audio messages seems like the logical step to make Instagram Direct look a little more like WhatsApp.

For now, users of the social network can already share photos and stories via private chat, and even make video calls with other profiles . If the audio messages arrive, you can chat with your contacts using your voice directly.

When is this new feature coming to Instagram Direct?

At the moment there is no data on an exact date of incorporation of the audio messages. The information has been shared by Matt Navarra on Twitter, and WABetaInfo responded to his message confirming that the function will arrive in the future.

It is therefore hoped that in a few months we will see the audio messages “landing” on our Instagram Direct.
