With the latest update, you can reply to messages on Instagram using videos and photos

A new feature on Instagram will allow users to respond to certain video, photos and reshared posts in Direct by sending photos or videos. The reply includes a sticker of the image that you are responding to. Get the ball rolling by tapping on "Reply," just like you would do with any other response you would be sending. Pressing "Reply" automatically opens the camera. Snap a selfie and send it. This is part of the changes to the app found with the update to version 10.34 of Instagram for both iOS and Android.

In addition to responding to Direct posts via a picture or video, you can send a split-screen response by tapping on the sticker. You will be able to draw on the sticker to make your response even more comical.

You can check your apps in the App Store (iOS) or in the Google Play Store (Android) to see if the version of Instagram you have includes the new features. If you haven't yet received version 10.34 of Instagram on your phone, be patient as it will soon arrive.
