Instagram Enhances Status Feature with Video Updates and Multimedia Replies

Instagram is introducing the ability to post two-second looping video Notes, expanding on its status feature. Users can now share short videos with their mutual followers or Close Friends for 24 hours. While video Notes may seem similar to Instagram Stories, they have some key differences, such as limited to front-facing camera use and content captured within the app. Users can respond to Notes with audio, photo, video, gifs, and stickers, which will be sent as direct messages. Initially seen as a competitor to Twitter, Instagram Notes has evolved into a distinct feature within the platform.
