If you use Instagram Notes, there are some new additions coming your way.

The social media platform has announced several features rolling out globally for Notes today, including “prompts”, where users can ask followers questions that can be responded to, and “likes”, which allows followers to react to friends’ notes.

Notes is also introducing “mentions”, so that users can directly @ friends within publicly posted notes.

These additions may draw newfound attention to Notes, which was released back in 2022 and sits within the DM section of Instagram. Recently, Notes has also introduced music and translation into this feature; essentially, users can share a 30-second clip of a song in their notes, and also translate friends’ notes with the click of a button.

The app, child of parent company Meta, has been rolling out tons of new features lately, from a bunch of new stickers to the developing Instagram Spins, which allows users to swap out text or audio in Instagram Reels.
