Instagram DMs merges with Messenger chats in New Instagram Update

Few years ago, Facebook made a comment on merging Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger chats into a single app and it seems like it’s already happening because Instagram users in the US have started receiving an update telling them that they can message their friends on Facebook through the Instagram app even if they don’t have an Instagram account.

The update also makes DMs a lot more colorful, in line with the current Messenger chat aesthetics. Also, the icon in the upper-right corner of the Instagram app is replaced with the Messenger logo.

From the official statements we’ve heard so far, it doesn’t sound as though Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook will all use one single messaging system – but rather that all three messaging systems will be able to communicate with each other.
