Information technology has now been found that Instagram plans to debut a video calling feature and is internally working on the development of the same.

Equally spotted by well-known leakster WABetaInfo, the rumored video calling characteristic has been discovered in the directly messaging (DM) section of a non-public version of the Instagram app.

This feature volition, however, not exist accessible from the get go but instead, you'll exist required to launch a chat session (or have their Direct messaging asking) to brand the new 'video calling' icon appear at the meridian correct of the app'due south navigation bar. Currently, y'all'll notice merely the "i" (information) icon that gives a brief expect at the contour of the other Instagram user.

Just, as reported by TechCrunch, the launch of this video calling feature might non actually be happening. Instagram has always been quite compliant and commented on rumors past frequently saying that the company is "testing new experiences for the Instagram customs."

This time around, however, it has declined to comment on rumors and speculations, which could very well be a ploy to hide the fact that video calling functionality is definitely being worked on in secret. The company surely has all the resources required to build out this feature as it has already implemented alive streaming.

While it is currently doubtful whether the video calling characteristic will be coming to Instagram, it could definitely be in the works.

Then, I'thousand hoping this feature becomes a reality over the coming months. What nearly yous? Are you excited for video calling on Instagram? Or will it become more cluttered? Let us know in the comments below.
