Photo-sharing app Instagram has introduced a voice messaging feature for its users.
According to a report in the Hindustan Times, a new microphone button has been added to Instagram. The app users can record the voice messages by holding down the button in Instagram Direct.
The users don't even have to choose the recipient before recording and sending the message across. The new Instagram feature allows the users to record the message beforehand and then send to a single contact or even a group later on, as reported by FastCompany quoted in the Hindustan Times report.
The voice messages sent by the users stay in the receivers chat window in the form of .wav (sound) files. They do not disappear after being listened to.
It was in August when in its bid to fight fake news and keep bad actors away from the platform, photo-messaging app Instagram had announced a few measures that can help its one billion users identify the authenticity of accounts with a large following.
The Facebook-owned platform announced that it would roll out an "About This Account" tool to provide more information, including location, about accounts that reach a large audience.
Moreover, Instagram is now also allowing more people to request the blue verified badge which is an important way for users to know that the account they are interacting with is the authentic presence of a notable public figure, celebrity, global brand or entity.
