October 9, 2024 (V SOCIAL MEDIA OF HOLLYWOOD) – Instagram has announced the release of new features aimed at improving the functionality of its Direct Messaging (DM) platform. These updates include options for sharing disappearing content, customizing chat themes, and using new tools to enhance communication efficiency.

The new "View once" feature allows users to send photos and videos that can only be viewed once before disappearing, providing more control over shared content. Additionally, Instagram has expanded its customization options by offering various themes for chat backgrounds, which can be selected based on user preferences.

Instagram has also introduced new AI-powered stickers and a "Cutouts" feature, allowing users to create personalized stickers from their own photos or videos. These updates are designed to offer more creative ways to engage in conversations.

Users can now pin up to three chats at the top of their inbox for easy access. Other updates include the ability to edit or unsend messages within 15 minutes of sending them, allowing users to make corrections or retract messages as needed.

Additional features include the option to send messages silently using the "/silent" command, and the ability to conduct polls within group chats to gather input from participants.
