Photo-sharing app Instagram is adding a new set of enhancements for its Notes feature on the platform. These additions include support for likes, prompts and mentions, according to 9To5Mac. For the unaware, the company started rolling out Notes in December 2022 as a new way to let users share thoughts in short posts of up to 60 characters via text, emojis and more.
According to Instagram, these new enhancements will help with expression, initiating conversations and connecting with friends on the platforms. For example, Notes Prompts can let users spark new conversations and "pose thoughts and musings with a prompt to get your friends and mutuals to chime in", Instagram said. These may appear in a separate window.
Similarly, with Notes Likes, users can react to their friend's notes via a like. To do this, users can double-tap a note or hit the heart button from the reply sheet. With Notes Mentions, you can directly mention your friends by using "@" and grabbing their attention. For context, Notes already supports video, music and replies, the report added.
New features for Instagram Notes.
"To leave a note, go to the top of your inbox, select the followers you follow back or people on your Close Friends list, and your note will appear at the top of their inbox for 24 hours. Replies to notes will arrive as DMs in your inbox," Instagram said in its introduction post in 2022. Notes allow users to express themselves, ask for recommendations, share upcoming plans in a casual way to connect with others.
These new changes for Notes have started rolling out for users. You can update your Instagram to check for feature availability. Meanwhile, the company was recently spotted working on a feature to allow users to test experimental features on the app. You can read more on this here.
