While there were rumblings of Instagram working on it, yesterday they made it official. Introducing Bolt: Instagram’s new photo messenger aimed to go head-to-head w/ Snapchat. It is a one-tap service that will arrive for both Android and iOS as a separate app.
Another messaging app for Instagram is on the way.
To use it, you will be able to tap on a friend’s face to send a photo, long-press to send a video, and shake to undo. Not sure how well this will play out IG already has a sort of private messenger within the app. I’ll give it a spin when it launches in the US but i doubt I’ll delete Hangouts for it.
Right now its only available in New Zealand, Singapore, and South Africa. For those that are into those kind of apps, this might be something for you to try.
