Cross-app communication on Messenger
Beginning in mid-December 2023, you will no longer be able to chat with people on Instagram from a Facebook profile.
Once cross-app communication isn’t available:
- You can’t start new conversations or calls with Instagram accounts from a Facebook profile.
- Any existing chats on Messenger that you’ve had with Instagram accounts will become read-only, even if these Instagram accounts are removed from the chat. This means that you and others with Facebook accounts can’t send new messages in these chats.
- Instagram accounts won’t be able to view your Active Status or whether you’ve seen a message.
- Any existing chats you've had with Instagram accounts won't move to your inbox on Instagram.
To continue conversations with Instagram accounts, you can start a new chat with them from your Instagram account.
