Instagram is adding a DM scheduling feature before everyone can schedule posts

Instagram is rolling out a DM scheduling feature as well as some end-of-year Easter eggs.

Social media expert Lindsey Gamble unearthed the feature, and Instagram confirmed to TechCrunch that it's rolling out scheduled DMs to all users. This will be handy for folks who want to schedule birthday messages for a bunch of friends at once or, for instance, to remind someone to pick them up from the airport on a certain day. There are multiple Add Yours templates based around New Year's as well, such as one you can use to prompt friends to share photos in the how 2024 started/how 2024 ended format.
