Message Scheduling

At present, you are not being given the option to schedule a message on Instagram. However, with the latest update, you will have the option to schedule a message 29 days prior to the time you want to send the message. In addition to this, you will also have the option to schedule reminders. To schedule a message, you must key the message in first. Then by holding down the Send button, the option to schedule the message by filling out the date and time will appear.

Message Translation

Now you will get the option to translate the message in Instagram's DM itself. Before sending the message, you can translate it and also read the received message by translating it into your language.

Music Sharing

At present, you have to leave the chat to share music on Instagram. But in the new update, the option to share music has been given inside the chat box itself, so that you will not need to leave the chat. You can share a 30-second music preview of a song.

Pin the message

Last year, the company added the feature to pin a total of three chat conversations inside the DM inbox so that they can access the key chats easily. In the current update, you can also pin or un-pin a specific message inside the conversation itself. You can pin a total of three messages inside a conversation.

You can also provide the QR code

In the latest update, you can also share a personalized QR code per group chat. It will ease the way you invite new people to a group. Your group chat can have the feature to manage the individuals that can be entered by the admin of the group chat being able to update the QR code at will.
