Ninja, Mr Beast and Myth demand Instagram add new feature Mixer\/Ninja\/Instagram\/mrbeastTop personalities across the esports and entertainment industries are demanding Instagram to add a new feature that would vastly improve their experience with the platform. Taking to Twitter, Mixer star and legendary Fortnite player Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins voiced his displeasure with the amount of direct message spam he receives. \u201cIt\u2019s a joke that Instagram doesn\u2019t have a verified tab or a way to separate verified DMs or message requests from regular spam,\u201d he wrote to his five million followers after some late night brainstorming. It\u2019s a joke that Instagram doesn\u2019t have a verified tab or a way to separate verified DMs or message requests from regular spam. Late night thoughts \ud83d\ude2c \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) February 13, 2020 On Twitter, being verified puts a checkmark next to an account name. Verified users are often top personalities with large followings, and the checkmark confirms their identity to prevent fraud. Others tended to agree with the Fortnite star. YouTuber Jimmy \u201cMr Beast\u201d Donaldson replied to the tweet, saying he agreed \u201c1000000%.\u201d According to Mr Beast, he\u2019s very frustrated that he has no idea when a verified account is trying to reach out to him. 1000000% I have no idea when someone else verified is trying to reach me on insta. It\u2019s so frustrating :\/ \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 13, 2020 100 Thieves content creator \u201cFroste\u201d also supported the idea, claiming that the best part about Twitter was not seeing DMs or mentions from \u201cunverified heathens.\u201d Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani called the lack of direct message separation his \u201cbiggest frustration\u201d with Instagram. However, not everyone was in support of Ninja\u2019s suggestion. Unverified user \u2018Squillivm\u2019 took issue with the claim that messages from non-verified people were \u201cspam\u201d and compared the idea to social class segregation. Been out for nearly 10 years and this is still my biggest frustration with the app. \u2014 Myth (@Myth_) February 13, 2020 Other users posted sarcastic replies such as \u201ctough life you guys live\u201d and \u201cstop complaining, you could just use another app\u201d \u2013 a shot at how Ninja ditched Twitch to stream exclusively on Mixer. Whether or not Instagram intends to add the feature remains up in the air, but it\u2019s clear that many big names want to see something done to filter out what they consider to be spam messages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
