Instagram's New Private-Messaging Feature Is Tragically Unverbable

The feature a little like Twitter’s Direct Messages, except that you can’t just send text—you have to share a photo or video. Or perhaps it’s like Snapchat, except that the photos and videos don’t disappear after 10 seconds—you’d better make sure you look goood before you hit “send” on that selfie. Or maybe it’s like text messaging, except that—well, actually, it’s pretty much the same as text messaging.
