What is the Instagram notes feature?
Unlike the stories feature, which allows you to post images and videos, notes are shorter and faster because they have a 60-character limit. Posting a note does not send a notification to your followers. However, they can see it in the DM/chats section and reply with a message if they want to.
However, just like stories posted on Instagram, the note will disappear after 24 hours. Simply put, you can say that Notes are text stories that can be shared in DM. It is so simple.
Now that we’ve crossed that list off, let’s move on to creating, sharing, and blocking Instagram notes. But first, my friend, make sure you update the Instagram app on your iPhone.
- Launch the Instagram app and swipe left to go to the DM section.
- Tap the plus icon in the top right corner of your profile picture. Note. Instead of a Plus icon, you can see a block labeled “Your Note”. Click here to add a note.
- Enter the message you want to share.
- Click the Share button in the top right corner.
Advice. You can choose who to share the note with. Instagram allows users to share notes with followers who follow them or with close friends.
Make the most of Instagram notes
Here are a few options for using Instagram Notes to get the most out of them.
- Notes will disappear after 24 hours and can be limited to 60 characters.
- Notes can be conversation starters, so keep them as memorable as possible (PS. They can even help you score points when chatting with someone you like).
- Creators and businesses can use Notes to communicate news, updates, or relevant information—it’s an easy way to keep track of your announcements because they’re at the top of your audience’s inbox and won’t get lost in the noise of Stories.
