Instagram Adds New Direct Feature in Latest Update That Allows Users to Send Images/Videos to Specific Friends

Instagram received a new update that allows users to send photos or videos directly to another user rather than posting them publicly for everyone to see. After snapping and editing the perfect shot, users are able to select Direct instead of Followers, which allows them to choose the friends they want to send the image or video to. All users need to do is tap the new icon in the upper right corner to view the direct content, and the sender is notified when their content has been viewed by friends.
