Instagram Finally Brings Messaging Ability to Desktop

If there is anything that annoys me about Instagram, it is definitely the inability to respond to direct messages on a desktop computer. Thankfully, the company has finally brought the ability to read and respond to direct messages to the web version of the app.

I absolutely hate typing on my phone, so much so that I do all my texting from my laptop. It also makes me horrible at responding to Instagram direct messages, simply because I dread having to type long messages with my thumbs. Thankfully, the company is finally bringing the ability to read and reply to direct messages to its web interface, making it far easier to keep up with your inbox. This is particularly important, of course, if you use Instagram for your business and you get client requests through the app, as it will allow you to more efficiently stay on top of client messages and send more carefully crafted and professional responses. To see your inbox, simply head to Instagram’s website and log into your account. Your inbox icon will be in the top right corner. Though you still cannot post from the web interface, this is definitely a step in the right direction.
