Following Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram last year, it was imminent for news to surface regarding receiving messaging built into future updates. With the new feature added to the photo sharing app, who needs to flex on Instagram when we just do more than just “@” them? A few weeks ago it was announced to be updated before the year is out. We’re strictly viewing this as a gift to the Instagram/Facebook community for the holiday season, following the video update we all fell in love with during the summer.
The link between both social networks has been ongoing since August, with sharing Instagram to Facebook; but attracting new users is also what led to the update. We’ll keep you updated in the coming days if any more major news comes in regarding the messaging feature.
