DMs and I'm already addicted. Remember Pong? Well, this is essentially that retro classic with a Gen Z twist, using emojis instead of a ball – revolutionary, I know. I've already lost a few more minutes to this game than I'd like to admit, so now I'm passing the joy to you. , at least we can somewhat relieve our flip-phoned pasts with this silly little mini-game.
The game works with any emoji but be careful when spamming your friend's DMs, since the recipient gets no context that you're engrossed in a heated gaming sesh. It might be best to let them know before the emoji spam unfolds. It's worth noting that some Instagram users have reported not having access to the game, but we're assuming that a wider rollout will be available soon.
I was today years old when I realized if you single tap on an emoji in Instagram DMs, it takes you to a new section and you play pong. The pong ball is based on the emoji you clicked. Is this why Instagram was down this morning? 😭 pic.twitter.com/EJPBbwMsreThank you for reading 5 articles this month* Join now for unlimited accessContact me with news and offers from other Future brands
