Notes are convenient for casually sharing short messages with your followers. You can convey your mood at the time, such as "today's lunch" or "favorite music".

To view Notes, open Instagram's direct message screen. At the very top, you should see your profile photo lined up with your followers'.

If there is a speech bubble-like icon above the photo, it's a sign that the person has posted a Note. Tap the icon to display the contents of the Note.

To reply to a Note, tap the speech bubble icon below the Note. Then, you can start exchanging messages with that person.
