Daily UI #013- Direct Message

For this week's challenge, I decided to redesign the Instagram messenger on desktop. Although many users access Instagram through their mobile devices, I wanted to challenge myself to think about the different needs users might have when messaging through the desktop version.

Like most inboxes, the message that is most recent goes to the top of the inbox, however, there was no way to search for past conversations on the current Instagram desktop site. Similarly to Facebook, I added a feature that would allow users to search within their inbox, easily navigating to specific conversations.
