You can now post short sentences to your Instagram feed
Concretely, Instagram wants to allow its users to “quickly share thoughts with loved ones“. The new functionality then takes place directly in Instagram’s direct messaging. At the very top of it, we actually see the “Notes” function, that displays short-lived messages from people or accounts you follow or who also follow you. Instagram thus offers the possibility to the users of the application to write in 60 characters maximum their thought of the day or any other message. On Twitter, some users showed off what the new feature looked like.
By publishing the note, the user can also choose whether it will be visible to all “friends” or only to “close friends”. Each note published is also posted 24 hours at the top of the messaging, and it cannot be edited after posting. It is also possible to react with emojis or respond to the notes that you will see on the news feed. Instagram has announced that it is testing this feature with a handful of users, before rolling it out to all users of the application.
