What are Instagram notes?
Instagram Notes are short text updates you can share with your followers. They appear at the top of your Direct Messages inbox. You can write up to 60 characters, including emojis. Notes disappear after 24 hours, like Stories.
To create a Note, open your DMs and tap the “+” icon next to your profile picture. Your followers can see your Notes without getting notifications. They can reply to them through private messages.
Notes are a quick way to:
- Share thoughts
- Make announcements
- Ask questions
- Start conversations
Think of them as modern Instagram bio updates or status messages. They’re perfect for short, temporary communication with your audience.
Why use Instagram notes?
Instagram Notes let you share quick thoughts with followers and close friends. They’re great for:

Businesses can use Notes to:

Notes are perfect for boosting engagement in a subtle way. You can post funny quips, inspirational quotes, or ask questions to spark conversations.
With only 60 characters, Notes encourage creativity. Try using emojis or wordplay to stand out. Experiment with different types of content to see what resonates with your audience.
