Direct from Instagram

Message directly to your friends for free

Direct from Instagram is a free mobile application that gives Instagram users the ability to message their friends in an app that is specifically designed for better communication. Share photos with a variety of features and even remix your friend’s photos with the message-first photo app that competes with other messaging apps, like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, and changes the way you use Instagram.

A focus on communication

Instagram’s inclusion of the direct message feature gave users the ability to message their friends and followers and share photos privately. Now Instagram is taking the approach to a whole new level with Direct from Instagram. The feature that has lived on the Instagram app for years is now its own dedicated app and brings with it a variety of new feature. With exclusive face filters and lightning-fast shooting and sharing, Direct is a step up in the photo application world and a great addition to your smartphone.

Built for sharing

The design of Direct from Instagram makes taking pictures and sending them easier than ever. Unlike Instagram, the application opens to the front-facing camera and pictures can be taken and send in second. Simply add a filter and send it to your friends privately or publicly. You can even change up pictures that have been sent to you.
