You can now set your Instagram status as a selfie video and reply to notes with more than just text،
Instagram Notes, once a quiet corner for fleeting text updates, is undergoing a transformation. The platform announced today that it is expanding its capabilities by blending multimedia, like video notes, emoji-infused replies, and an exciting new way to express yourself beyond the confines of text. Gone are the days of static text updates.
Video notes take center stage, allowing users to capture and share fleeting moments in just two seconds. Whether it's a quick burst of laughter, a heartfelt message to a loved one, or a glimpse into your daily life, video notes will give you a way to showcase it. However, these short looping updates will be reserved for your inner circle, as only mutual followers and your designated “close friends” can see them.
Creating a video note will be as easy as going to your inbox, tapping your profile picture, and letting your creativity flow. Each take is limited to two seconds and the ubiquitous “trash” button is ready for creative retakes. Once your note is ready, you can add an extra touch with a text bubble, publish it and wait for it to disappear in 24 hours.
This new feature was teased by Instagram boss Adam Mosseri when it began its testing phases. At the time, Mosseri shared a video explaining how to create a video note, as seen below.
But the evolution does not stop there. Instagram Notes will now allow users to reply with GIFs, photos, videos, audio recordings and stickers. Replying is as easy as tapping a note and writing your response.
These responses will arrive as direct messages, promoting a more personal and engaging conversation. With this update, Instagram harnesses the power of ephemeral messages, encouraging users to ditch generic comments and express themselves through video, audio and emojis.
