Instagram adds scheduled DMs: Here’s how to make the most of it

Meta-owned social media platform Instagram is quietly rolling out the ability to schedule Direct Messages (DMs). The new feature is quite handy for individuals who want to schedule memes and text messages to ensure that they see it when awake and for creators who want to reach out to their followers at a certain point in time.

In a statement to TechCrunch, Meta confirmed that the new functionality is currently being rolled out to everyone globally. To schedule DMs on Instagram, just type out the message and long-press the send button until the ‘Schedule message’ overlay appears.
