Instagram finally brings direct messages to web

Instagram seems to be working on adding web-based functionalities to the platform. 

The Facebook-owned photo sharing platform has finally rolled out direct messaging for the desktop website. 

The feature for adding direct messages support for the Web comes after months of testing from Instagram. 

Apart from introducing access to direct messages on the Web, Instagram has also brought support for 'Instagram Live' on desktop. 

The introduction of direct messages on the web comes as Facebook's broader vision for a larger focus on private messaging.

Bringing direct messages on the Web has been on Instagram's agenda for quite some time now. 

The Facebook-owned platform has been testing the feature for desktop browsers since January. 

Now, finally, Instagram has announced the development on Twitter, saying users can now "send Instagram Direct messages on desktop, no matter where they are in the world," indicating that the feature has rolled out globally for every user.
