Vine Messages and Instagram Direct: A Quick Breakdown

Private messaging has arrived to Vine three months after private messaging came to Instagram.

While it’s natural to think messaging on both these platforms would be the same, Vine messages (VM) differs in a couple of notable ways. First, Vine Messages let you message any of your friends on Vine and anyone in your phone’s address book who may not be Vine. Vine users can also opt in or out of receiving VMs from people they follow/know via the Settings section in their Profile. On Instagram, photo or video messages from people/organizations you don’t follow show as pending and have to be approved or rejected on an individual basis.

Aside from those differences, user should know that VMs sent to more than one person start separate conversations between you and each of the people you sent a video (i.e. a video sent to 3 people = 3 conversations).
