Meta is now making it possible to directly make purchases from small businesses in Instagram chats with its new "Payments in Chat" feature. The new Payments in Chat feature is available when making purchases from "qualified small businesses", according to Meta. To complete purchases, users will be able to use Meta Pay when checking out. For small businesses, this enables them to directly coordinate purchases with their customers, answer questions, confirm purchase details, create a payment request with item description and price, and collect payments all within the customer specific chat thread.

Instagram announced a couple of handy updates for its app which gives users an easier way to discover new people to follow and, finally, the ability to go back and edit captions on posts. The new features are available on Instagram for iOS version 6.2 and Instagram for Android version 6.10.
