Facebook Messenger Users Can Now Import Their Instagram Contacts

A similar feature was being tested last December

Facebook confirmed the official rollout of a feature enabling Messenger users to import their contacts from Instagram.

Users with access to the feature will see a Sync Instagram Account option under the People tab in the Messenger application.

In November 2016, Facebook introduced a single inbox for businesses, enabling them to access their communications from Facebook, Messenger and Instagram in a single location.

Tests of a similar feature for non-business users were spotted last year.

And a Connect to Instagram option for Messenger surfaced last December.
