Instagram service is finally support for your Direct messenger on the web platform. For now it is available to a “small percentage of users,” but the fact itself is remarkable. The innovation will allow SEO specialists and users not to be tied to smartphones and expand the ecosystem of applications to other devices.
The company says the deployment is still a test, with details about a potential large-scale rollout to come in the future.
In technical terms, messaging will not differ much from that on smartphones. Considering that the UNP version of Instagram on Windows 10 works frankly poorly, this is a worthy alternative.
It is stated that the new product supports all standard functions, such as likes, transferring photos and files, emoji, emoticons and more. Integration of Windows 10 notifications is also promised. Note that Direct has the ability to use group chats and personal messages (also supported in the browser version).
It has not yet been announced when exactly the function will be launched for everyone. Developers are not particularly keen to develop separate applications for desktop OSes that would be comparable in functionality to their mobile counterparts.
