Instagram Notes is available in select markets for now
Instagram introduced the feature last month, but its availability was limited to select markets.
Instagram has expanded its “Notes” feature, a way for users to share their thoughts, to Europe and Japan.
The head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, made the announcement on the microblogging platform Twitter, stating that “Notes are now available in Europe and Japan.”
In a video, Mosseri said that many users “complained that they couldn’t access the feature yet.”
“When we launch a new feature, sometimes we only launch it to a small percentage of people, or only to a specific country,” he explains.
“And sometimes, in the case of Notes, we launch something everywhere we can, but have to hold back in a few countries when there’s more work to do.”
Mosseri also said the feature “has done really well” in Asia, North America and Latin America and “specifically with teenagers”.
The Notes feature was introduced last month. Notes are short messages of up to 60 characters containing only text and emojis.
