Meta's Threads Could Soon Get DMs Using This Clever Implementation: All Details
When Meta’s X rival Threads first launched, it was missing a ton of features. Mosseri, replying to Newton’s post, said that Meta could integrate Instagram’s inbox into the Threads app. The company has also launched the ability to DM an Instagram contact directly from Threads without switching the app, but Mosseri believes that the platform “still needs to make that easier, improve the receiving experience, and work through a more comprehensive set of messaging controls.” Meanwhile, Mosseri also presented a list of issues going against the implementation. “If, in the end, we can’t make the Instagram inbox work for Threads, we’ll have a hard choice to make between mirroring the Instagram inbox in Threads and dealing with notification routing weirdness, and building a totally separate Threads inbox and dealing with the fact that you’ll have two redundant message threads with each of your friends with the same handles in two different apps. Mosseri’s arguments do make sense, with Threads almost being an extension of Instagram of sorts and having mirrored notifications.
