Instagram today announced the launch of a new "Remix" feature for Direct Messages, which is designed to allow users to remix their friends' photos and then send them back for "fun conversations."

When viewing a photo message from a friend, you can tap on the camera icon at the bottom and to create a reply. The reply includes a photo sticker of the image you're replying to, which can be moved, resized, and edited with additional stickers, text, and drawings.

Instagram is also now allowing users to control replays. The new "One View" option will let friends see a message just once, while "Allow Replay" will allow friends to view the message for the standard period of time. Photos and videos sent using the "Allow Replay" option will loop automatically.

Instagram says the new features are part of Instagram version 24, which is available now on iOS devices.

Does anyone even use the direct photo chats? I see stories used all the time but have gotten maybe 1 direct pic chat thing ever on insta..seems the direct pics still run king on Snapchat
 
I took a break from Instagram for a while and just started using it again a few weeks ago but it just doesn’t feel the same as it did a year or two ago. I liked the simplicity and straight forward-ness of it. Now I have seemingly unsorted pics, posts with multiple pics, ads and other stuff that I’m just not really too happy about. I’m probably just old.
