Instagram has released a new update that packs a bunch of features including editing messages, pinning conversations, and more.
There’s nothing like sending someone an embarrassing DM on Instagram. You type, send, and then realize you mistyped something, and boy does that message not look great. Well, Instagram itself is rushing in like a knight in shining armor to save the day.
In a blog post, the company announced that it is now rolling out the ability to edit direct messages to everyone on Instagram. According to the announcement, users will have 15 minutes to edit a message that they have sent on the platform.
Whether it’s a typo or something just doesn’t sound right, you can now edit messages up to 15 minutes after sending. To make a change, press and hold on the sent message, then choose “edit” from the dropdown menu.
In addition to editing messages, you’ll also now be able to pin messages to the top of your DMs.
