Instagram finally lets you edit DMs

Meta just announced a software update for Instagram that finally lets users edit DMs within 15 minutes of being sent. There’s also a new tool to pin three of your favorite conversations at the top of your DM feed.

Instagram launched direct messaging tools way back in 2013, but there hasn’t been a way to edit them after the fact. Meta just rolled out a software update for the Instagram app that finally allows for DM edits, with one major caveat. You can also pin up to three of your favorite direct messages on top of the feed, which is useful in the case of ongoing conversations.
