Meta-owned social media platform, Instagram, consistently enhances its app to provide an improved user experience. Now, Instagram has unveiled an upgrade to its Notes feature allowing users to share short videos to their Notes.
The Notes feature was introduced last year to assist users in sharing brief text notes at the top of their DM section. Since its introduction, the platform has implemented several updates to the Notes feature, allowing users to share short music and voice notes. The latest addition to the Notes feature now enables users to share short video notes of 2-seconds at the top of their DM section. This expansion of Instagram Notes provides users with the ability to infuse a dynamic element into their updates.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you use this new Video Status feature:
