1 min read
Summary
Instagram is rolling out a new feature called Quicksnap for its direct messaging tool, which allows users to rapidly share photos with friends
It is inspired by Snapchat, giving it a more spontaneous and visual feel
To use it, open the Instagram app and go to Direct Messages, then look for a new sticker to appear on the right-hand side
Tap on this and then select the ‘Try it’ button to begin using the feature
You can then take a photo, which you can add a caption to, and select a list of friends to send it to
The photo will then be sent to your feed and the receiver can view it by going to Direct Messages and pressing on the image peaking out on the left-hand side of the display
Once opened, the photo will automatically be deleted.
Quicksnap images are automatically saved for the sender and they can view them by pressing on the icon in the lower left corner or creating it from the Instagram feed.
