WITH the rise of different social media platforms, each one has been stepping up its features to gain the attention of users.
Instagram now has a new notes feature, which is basically secret messages you can post for 24 hours.
What is the Instagram share notes feature?
The new notes feature basically is another 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 the feature since June, per 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.”
