Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, recently admitted that the social media platform has become increasingly complicated. Because of this, one of the features that was first introduced in July 2024 will be discontinued. This feature is related to Notes.
Since July 2024, some users have been able to share Notes on Reels videos and also on photo or video grid sharing. These Notes are also a little different because they will be deleted after 3 days instead of the usual after 24 hours. They are also semi-private because users can change who sees these Notes. These Notes are displayed as stickers and also as group messages between friends.
This feature is not widely distributed and not used by many. Because of this, Instagram will end support for semi-private Notes that are deleted after 3 days. Regular Notes that are displayed in the DM section and profile will remain usable as usual.
