In a paywalled report, a leaked Instagram memo obtained by BusinessInsider says that DMs are coming to Threads earlier than expected.
Threads, the Twitter rival from Meta’s Instagram that appeared out of nowhere to wind up with 100 million subscribers after its first five days, is moving faster than expected to add a feature found on Twitter. Originally, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said that Direct Messaging for Threads would not be coming soon. Direct Messaging, or DMs, are messages sent privately from one subscriber to another subscriber on the same platform.Now it appears that Threads might be offering DMs sooner than expected. Business Insider has obtained a leaked internal memo from Instagram saying that DMs would be « coming soon » to Threads along with some other features. While the report was blocked by a paywall, social media analyst Matt Navarra posted on Twitter (ironically) that the memo does mention new capabilities that are heading to Threads.
