The popular social media app just confirmed that it’s upgrading DMs to ensure users can better organize their inboxes. This includes rolling out new tools that creators and influencers have been in search of for days.
The platform will enable users to sort and filter any message requests. This is for those texts that come from those people they’re not following. So instead of going into the main inbox, they remain idle as requests that many tend to overlook.
The latest feature will be based on the user sets and controls. Moreover, they can enable them to better organize the requests, depending on follower count, brand, verification of accounts, and other factors. This is certainly something that many influencers or creators have been looking forward to for so long.
Similarly, users can better identify those messages outlined as high priority which deserve a reply, thanks to the impact they entail on their relationships. This is especially true for business.
Additionally, the app is adding a new folder for Stories where any replies to stories will be organized in a single location. This makes them quicker to accessible and avoids clutter.
The organization confirmed how such changes are getting rolled out after the responses and feedback from creators all over the globe. Many find managing DMs very difficult and it’s about time Instagram took action.
We’re all aware, creators or not, of how overwhelming it can be to access your requests inbox. Adam Mosseri acknowledged that in his latest post and felt that now it’s going to get easier to filter down requests. This way, users can find exactly what they’re in search of without spending added time organizing.
There are a lot more things that Instagram needs to do which again come as feedback from creators but we can see that this is a great start. The new Sort & Filter option will pop up across the overlay seen at the top of inboxes. This is where users can select any sort of request by how recent they are or by the number of followers a single sender has.
This highlights the messages that might come from other creators or businesses trying to reach out about certain deals. They can similarly check or uncheck new options to narrow down everything on display such as account verification and name of brand.
Instagram agreed that they will continue to work hard and better DMs with time. Such changes come at a time when Meta announced more changes to better its texting platform WhatsApp. The latter relies on using filters to better organize chats into customized lists. Therefore, it looks like the tech giant is on an organizational mission after seeing the latest Instagram change.
