Social media giant Meta made a radical decision in 2020. With this decision, Instagram and Facebook started to offer cross messaging support. Instagram users can send messages to their Facebook friends via Messenger.
Now, there has been a new development regarding this feature. Making an update on the official support page, Meta announced that it would withdraw the feature in question. Users will now only message via the platforms they use.
The new regulation will be valid as of the coming days.
According to the update made on Meta’s official support page, users will not be able to send messages to users on Facebook from Instagram as of the coming days. However, the company did not announce a clear timetable for this. Only the middle of the month has been indicated.
The decision taken will not destroy the messaging of the past. Meta said the messages will be accessible. So the Instagram user will continue to read the conversations he has with his Facebook contacts. However, it will not be possible to send a new message. Finally, let us note that the company does not say anything about why it made such a decision.
