Now everyone can edit their Instagram DMs

You’ll have 15 minutes to reconsider a risky message.

Now, Meta has announced Instagram is giving users the ability to edit their direct messages up to 15 minutes after sending them. Then, select “Edit.” The revised message will display the word “Edited” in the conversation, so if you’re hoping they just hadn’t noticed, you still might be better off deleting the original and resending. Users will also now have the ability to toggle read receipts on or off, pin individual or group chats to the top of their inboxes, and respond with their choice of stickers, GIFs, videos, photos, and voice messages.
