There’s a quirky Easter Egg arcade game hidden in Instagram DMs that people may not know about.
It’s arguably quite useless, but it’s fun – and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Here’s how to ‘activate’ it: head to your DMs, pick a friend who won’t mind receiving a random DM from you, send a single emoji as a message, then tap on it once and see what happens.
You can check it out in the clip above, then try it for yourself.
