Over a billion people around the world actively use Instagram each month, according toStatista.
Fellow co-founder Kevin Systrom later got in on the action and posted Instagram’s first puppy picture.
If you search for #puppy now, there are over 186 million results.
From these small beginnings, Instagram has become a place to share your carefully curated life with followers.
There have also been studies on thepotential negative effects of social media like Instagram on self-image.
However, for many, Instagram is a full-time job of creating content, according toForbes.
Instagram now has a new feature called Notes that can change those interactions.
Notes are messages of 60 characters or less that are shared with a select group of followers, perToday.
It’s a bit like Instagram Stories from the homepage.
If someone posts a note, there’s no notification, so you have to check the inbox.
And those messages will only last for 24 hours, according toBusiness Insider.
Scroll horizontally through the profile pictures to see everyone who has left a note.
You’ll have the option to share it with followers you follow back or just close friends.
Once a note is removed, your followers won’t be able to see it.
to use Instagram Notes, you’ll need to see to it you’ve updated your app.
Notes is also just one of a few new features that Instagram is planning for users.
There is also Collaborative Collections, which lets groups add, share, and save content, according toMeta.
