Instagram DM Updates - March 2024

Our friends at Meta and Instagram have some cool new updates for all our creators DM to help you better connect with friends, express yourself, and organize your inbox.

To make a change, press and hold on the sent message, then choose “edit” from the dropdown menu.

Instagram – Pin Chats to Top of Inbox

For chats you have with your best friends or family, or simply ones you want at the top of your inbox, soon you’ll be able to pin up to three group or 1:1 chats for easy access. 

To move a chat to the top of your inbox, swipe left or tap and hold on the chat, then tap “pin”. You can choose to unpin a thread at any time.
