Meta has removed end-to-end encryption support for Instagram direct messages starting May 8, 2026. According to Meta, the feature was removed because only a small number of users enabled encrypted messaging in Instagram DMs. Instagram has rolled out a new feature that allows users to edit their comments after posting, giving them a short window to fix mistakes without deleting and reposting. Instagram began testing the feature earlier, and it is now rolling out more broadly to users. Meta is testing a new subscription tier for Instagram that could give users more control and exclusive features on the platform. It also puts Instagram alongside other social media apps that already offer premium tiers, as platforms explore new ways to generate revenue beyond advertising. Instagram is rolling out a long-requested feature that allows users to reorder photos and videos within carousel posts even after they’ve been published. According to Instagram head Adam Mosseri, the feature addresses a common pain point among creators who want more flexibility in curating their posts after publishing.
