The feature also works with group calls. To know how to use the Watch Together feature on Instagram, you can follow these steps:1.

With the feature, you will be able to reply to an Instagram DM right from the notification.Users can now also send a silent message to other users without any alert. The feature can be quite helpful for users who want to reach out without sending unwanted notifications. Sending a silent message is quite easy and the receiver will also know if they receive one.
