Instagram Rolls Out New DM Features

Instagram has launched several new features for Direct Messages (DMs) to enhance user experience and engagement. These updates focus on improving accessibility and connection within the app.

Voice Message Transcription

A key update is the introduction of voice message transcription. Users can now view a text version of audio messages within their DMs. This feature allows users to engage with messages even in environments where listening to audio is difficult.
