What is the Instagram share notes feature?

The new notes feature offers disappearing content like Instagram stories.

It can easily be compared to WhatsApp or MSN statuses that were popular some time ago.

You can post short messages of up to 60 characters and share them with the people of your choice, including your Close Friends or mutual followers.

They can reply to your messages and have a secret note party for 24 hours.

The notes section is located at the top of your DM inbox.

The feature was made available recently, and Meta has been working with it since June, according to Tech Crunch.

“We’re always working on ways to help you better connect on Instagram,” shared a Meta spokesperson.


“We’re now testing Notes so people can quickly share thoughts with their friends, with a small group of people to star.”

Does everyone have access to the new feature?

Since the new feature is still being tested, it is not available to every Instagram user.

We also do not know how long it will be available once it’s officially introduced.

Some users have had the feature for weeks now, while others have just seen the new detail now.

Instagram has yet to officially announce the new notes feature and all the relevant details.

What are users saying about the new feature?

Although it is a good way to easily connect with friends and share secret statuses, some are not too excited about the new feature.

One user wrote: “instagram notes are horrifying… it’s like the cringiest millennials discovering how to tweet”

Another tweeted: “How do I turn off these Instagram notes, a lot of unfunny ppl thinkin they funny”

Some tweets express more anger for the feature, as one tweeted: “DISABLE THE INSTAGRAM NOTES FEATURE IMMEDIATELY”
