The feature is quite basic and Instagram has had the feature for quite a while now. It would help you keep your message box less cluttered and keep the messages or requests that you want to see.
The platform has been testing tweaks and features lately to improve DMs. Recently, the platform also added a search bar in DMs, making it easier for you to search through your messages and find the one you're looking for.
