What Are Instagram Notes?

Instagram Notes are short text updates that can be shared with close friends or followers. The feature received an update recently, and now you can leave notes on someone’s Instagram posts or Reels.

The notes you add to someone else’s reels and posts will be visible to your friends and followers. Before the latest update, Instagram Notes supported only texts, but now you can include music, videos, and even replies.

It’s also important to note that DMs and Profile notes are visible for 24 hours, whereas the notes left on posts or reels will remain visible for three days unless deleted.
