The social network Instagram✴ has expanded the capabilities of the “Notes” function – short status messages that disappear over time – they will appear on posts in the feed of main publications and on short videos in the Reels section.

Instagram✴ users can now leave “Notes” on Reels and Grid posts, which will appear directly on top of the main content in small “bubbles.” Like other Notes, these comments only appear for a limited period of time—they disappear after three days unless you manually delete them first. They are also partly private – you can choose who sees them: users from the list of close friends or mutual subscribers. You can also tag other users in Notes on Reels videos and main posts—essentially hidden comments for a limited audience.
When users see “Notes” from others in Reels and posts, they appear as stickers on top of the content—a unique way to communicate privately on Instagram✴ along with personal correspondence. While viewing partially private posts from friends on the platform can be helpful, some may be put off by the possibility that they won’t see everything others have posted. It is also possible that some Instagram✴ users will abuse this function. However, no one is forcing you to use the new product – “Notes” can be completely disabled in the settings, the administration of the social network reported. “Notes” for posts and Reels have already begun to appear among Instagram✴ users around the world.
