Instagram's app strategy really confuses me. You can already message each other in the main app, just add this extra functionality there? Same with their others apps - really annoying having a fragmented suite of apps to do stuff on one platform. Also that icon does not gel so well with the rest of the family.
Congrats !
Somedays I woke up and think "Why I only use 5 messenger apps (vk, messenger, telegram, whatsapp, imessage) to contact people. Shouldn't someone get a hold on this, like right now?". And it makes me sad. But no today. Today is my day.
Can't find on ios -- anyone have a link?
I think it's only in Uraguay its saying :(
But why? :(
Curious: not available in the US store, but it IS available in the Uruguayan store. LOL.
lol same issue. Did it work for you when changing the store?
I didn’t change store, no. Wasn’t sure what adverse ripple effects that might have.
About time, I have full on conversations now just through DM, this is great
this is great, i'm trying to instal it but I am not seeing it in the US market. This would be great for my business account.
is there a special trial or preview link? I'd love to test this out
Not available in India.
I think this was a really good move.
