Instagram Direct app just launched in about 15 countries
Last year a new Instagram app appeared on the scene, Instagram Direct This app wanted to compete directly with Snapchat The app, launched as a test it allowed sharing, directly from it, photos and videos with filters. What comes to be Snapchat
We say that Instagram Direct was launched on a test basis as it only appeared in a number of countries, and specifically in those where Snapchat seemed to have been less popular among the public. users of social networks.
The acceptance of the Instagram Direct app in the countries where it was launched has been very low
Well, it seems that the adventure of this application is coming to an end. As Instagram has been notifying users of the app that starting next month, they will no longer support the app. It will not be possible to download or update and conversations will automatically go to direct messages in the Instagram app
In theory, this movement by Instagram takes place in the intention of Facebook to unify all its messaging applications in one. As we know, from Facebook want to interconnect all their messaging apps so that we can talk to any contact through anyone.
The message that app users are receiving
But something that could also be is that the application has not had the expected acceptance.It must be remembered that the app was launched in a series of certain countries as a test. And, furthermore, we know that everything that does not have the expected reception or that does not seem to work, has no place on Facebook or Instagram.
As proof of the little acceptance of the app, there are numbers that confirm it. Specifically, the app Instagram Direct would have been installed 1.35 million times. Numbers that are well below the 1 billion monthly users who use the Instagram app.
What do you guys think? That they eliminate the app, is it due to the attempt to unite the platforms or to the little acceptance of it? And, if it had arrived in your country, would you have used this app?.
