Instagram, a popular social media platform from Meta Company, introduced a reply feature a few months ago. However, it was only available in certain regions. But, recently, Instagram made it available worldwide. The reply feature allows users to respond to any message in Instagram Direct, including reels, stories, posts, and even their own messages. This feature has proven to be very useful as users can now engage in conversations more easily and conveniently. Moreover, it has made communication on the platform more efficient and streamlined.
