Instagram), and Stan Chudnovsky (Head of Messenger) that the company is connecting the Messenger and Instagram experience to bring some of the best Messenger features to Instagram.<br>The objective is that users can have access to the best messaging experience, no matter which app they use.<br>Messages and calls from friends and family using Instagram will stay in the users&#8217; Instagram app. The main change is that people employing the Messenger app can now reach other user on Instagram without the reached needing to download a new app, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can also control where they receive messages and calls, such as in their chats, in their message requests or not at all.<br>Another chance is watching audiovisual contents together creating a group no matter wether some of the users in this group are using Instagram or Messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People on Instagram can decide whether to update immediately to this new experience, or not.<br><br>Facebook is launching new features on Instagram and Messenger in a few countries around the world, and will expand the roll out globally soon.<br>Facebook adds that this is only the start to making it easier to stay in touch with friends and family across the apps owned by this company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Launching
