Instagram audios are already a reality
Not long ago we informed you that, shortly, Instagram would officially launch voice messages in the app Well, if we didn't have enough with the GIFs in private messages, quick responses or Quick Replies or the possibility of opening a new profile, voice messages they are officially here.
Below you can see how voice messages work on Instagram
If Instagram has activated the feature on your account (something very likely as this feature is rolling out very quickly), you will be able to see in private messages some new icons on the message writing bar.
The new menu displayed
The “+” icon hides the GIFs, the quick answers and the answer with a heart, so by pressing it we can see them. But what matters to us is the first icon, the one in the shape of a microphone since it is the one that corresponds to voice messages.
The operation is very similar to that of WhatsApp If we keep the icon pressed, the function will be activated and we can start talking. As in WhatsApp, if we swipe up the recording will be blocked and we don't have to hold down to record the message.
The effect when recording
If we slide to the left we will delete the message and if we stop pressing the icon the audio will be sent. This is a little different if we have blocked the recording, since to delete it you just have to press the trashcan icon and, to send it, the send icon.
All these improvements we see in the Directs seem to indicate that Instagram wants to focus on messaging as well. In fact, the possible appearance of a specific app for the Directos of Instagram We will see what more news they include to enhance them.
