4. Send Messages Quietly
You can now send messages to your friends without them receiving any notification. You just have to add “@silent” at the end of your message and tap on the send button. Your message will be delivered but they will not receive any notification for that. They will know only when they open Instagram and view your chat.
5. Keep It On The Lo-Fi/ Lo-Fi Chat Theme
Another one on the list of upcoming Instagram features is this amazing Lo-fi chat theme. To make the chat conversations feel more personal on Instagram, the Lo-Fi chat theme has been launched.
