Instagram's Potential Integration of Direct Messaging with Threads

Instagram's Threads app, which was initially not planning to build direct messages (DMs), may eventually integrate with Instagram's messaging service. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, hinted that the Instagram inbox could work inside Threads, allowing users to message anyone on either platform and syncing their inbox between the two apps. However, there are challenges to consider, such as notifications and cross-app controls. If the integration doesn't work, Threads may either mirror the inbox and let users handle notification issues themselves or create a separate Threads inbox. The future of Threads' messaging system and its integration with other Meta-owned apps like WhatsApp and Messenger remains uncertain.
