  Instagram, the photo sharing service owned by Facebook, announced just a few tens of minutes after the launch I, a system that allows the sharing of photos and videos to individual users or groups of users Instagram. Practically, the system is similar to the one offered by Twitter for text messages, and Instagram has also implemented a special inbox where users can view sent/received messages, as well as the people who viewed their messages.

From how you capture photos and videos to the way you start conversations through likes and comments, we built Instagram Direct to feel natural to the Instagram experience you already know. When you open Instagram, 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. After sending, you'll be able to find out who's seen your photo or video, see who's liked it and watch your recipients commenting in real time as the conversation unfolds.

  Users will have to follow each other to be able to use this system, but Instagram also allows sending messages to people you don't interact with, they have to follow you to be able to receive the messages. All these novelties are already available in the App Store through version 5.0 of the Instagram application dedicated to iOS and the Android platform, the system working as soon as you install the update in your terminals.
