Instagram DMs now connect with Facebook Messenger, helping you continue conversations without having to switch social apps.
Like it or not, Facebook Messenger might soon find its way into your Instagram DMs. Instagram has announced integration with Messenger, letting you carry on some conversations without having to switch apps. Any messages and calls from other Instagram users will stay in Instagram. This isn’t merging your Facebook and Instagram accounts. If you enable the connection, however, you can start conversations with Messenger friends or receive their messages. You can specify where those messages come in (if they do at all), such as through your regular Instagram DM chats or message requests.
