Instagram introduced the feature ‘Notes’ in December 2022. The new feature was designed to allow users to write their thoughts and share them with friends. Additionally, it is a great method of connecting with others and starting conversations, as users can also share their emotions and ideas with followers.
Added Features
Meta-owned photo-sharing app has now introduced more features into Notes. This was achieved by adding a feature known as ‘Note Promote.’ Different questions can be shared using this feature, such as:
What should I eat?’ What should I wear?’ What should I do today?’
What’s the best way to…?’
Among friends.
Note Promote Feature
The Note Promote allows users to:
Share questions with friends
Get answers or advice from friends
Start a conversation with friends
Share multiple questions at once
Edit or delete questions anytime
Similarity With Facebook Mentions
This feature works similarly to Facebook Mentions, where a user tags a friend within a note. Hence, people are able to interact more deeply with their buddies or supporters, making connections easier and promoting dialogue.
Integration With Likes Feature
Besides that, Instagram is also integrating Notes into the ‘Likes’ function, which behaves like it, i.e., double-click or click on the heart. It enables individuals to like notes in a much more interactive manner so that they may show support for other peoples’ thoughts and appreciate them easily, too.
How Notes Work
These are the steps for operating the Notes feature:
Users can write up to 60 characters long messages and then post them on the DM tab under their profile picture directly. Followers will be able to see these messages for 24 hours, plus they can reply too if need be. Several notes may be shared while one can delete any of them later if wanted. These notes might include text, emojis, or hashtags, too.
Benefits of Notes Feature
There are many advantages offered by this new feature, including:
Letting friends know how one feels or what they think about something;
Another way of engaging with friends and followers;
Getting advice from friends;
A different approach to starting conversations with friends;
