Instagram expanded the experience of direct messages
Currently, With more than one billion registered users globally, Instagram is one of the most used social networks and, in addition, one of the main content platforms that dominate the market.
According to the words of Adam Mosseri, the person in charge of Instagram, the intention of the social network is to improve communication between its users.
As a result of the latter, the social network has already begun to implement various tools in its direct messages, which is why, following this line, it now has in mind a new function that is related to chats in live broadcasts, same that could come very soon.
This is a function that is intended to allow users to communicate with each other (or chat) when they are watching a live broadcast.
According to what has been reported, the idea is to allow two or more “friends” to chat in private while watching a “live”this without the need for other users to have access to said chat.
