You Can Now Schedule DMs on Instagram

Introduction

Instagram has introduced a DM scheduling feature, allowing users to plan messages for specific dates and times. This new addition enhances Instagram’s direct messaging experience, offering more flexibility for users to communicate effectively.

How It Works

The new feature lets you schedule text-only messages with ease:

1. Type your message.

2. Long-press the send button.

3. Choose a date and time for delivery (up to 29 days in advance).

Instagram will display a notice indicating any scheduled messages within a chat. Users can also manage scheduled messages by:

• Deleting them.

• Sending them immediately if plans change.

  

Key Limitations

While scheduling text-based messages is now possible, other forms of content like photos, videos, or GIFs cannot be scheduled. Those must still be sent in real-time.

Part of a Bigger Update

This update aligns with Instagram’s ongoing push to improve DMs, following features like:

• Message editing.

• Drawing on photos.

• Sharing live locations.

Conclusion

With message scheduling, Instagram caters to users who want to plan communications efficiently—whether it’s sending birthday wishes, reminders, or memes. Stay tuned to Kushal Bharat Tech News for updates on Instagram’s evolving features!
