A giant photo-sharing Service Instagram company launched its
new feature known as “INSTAGRAM DIRECT" last year on 12 Dec, 2013.
Now users will be able to send photos, videos and messages privately. Instagram
Direct offers to send video to a single person or up to 15 people.
In a presentation in New
York , the co-founder of Instagram Kevin Systrom says: “Sometimes
you want to be able to share, not with everyone, but just with a specific
group.” Instagram which was bought by Facebook in 2012 unfolded its
three years statistics and claim to have 150 million users who have shared 16
billion photos through this platform and daily increase more and more and
capturing and sharing moments all around the globe.
You’ll now see a new icon in the top right corner of your
home feed. Tap it to open your inbox where you’ll see photos and videos that
people have sent to you. To send a photo or video to specific people, tap the
camera button to enter the same simple photo or video capture and editing
screens. At the top of the share screen, you’ll see the option to share with
your followers (“Followers”) or to send to specific people (“Direct”).
To send using Direct,
tap the names of the people you want to send your photo or video to, write your
caption, tap “send” and you’re done. Photos and videos that you receive from
people you follow will appear immediately. If someone you’re not following
sends you a photo or video on Instagram, it will go to your requests so you can
decide if you want to view it.
