As you can see the first image above, an incoming DM appearing in a new drop-down panel, the user can reply, then and there, without having to tap through to their Direct inbox.

As you can see in the second image, Instagram’s also adding a new quick send option, which will highlight your closest friends when you tap and hold the share button on a post, again making it easier to send a DM without disrupting your browsing experience.
