It's official: Instagram and Messenger users can now chat with each other

Instagram’s new chat experience is rolling out

Facebook promised that it would make messaging easier across all of its apps (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) last year, and we've already seen evidence that the company was working on integrating Facebook Messenger with Instagram. Today, the company has made that move official, introducing what it's calling a new Messenger experience on Instagram.

We already reported on the integration when it was part of a limited test, and not too much has changed: Once the new chat experience has rolled out to you, you'll notice that the flyer icon in the top right corner of the Instagram app has been switched out for the Facebook Messenger symbol.
