These Notes are all wasted opportunities to post vague lyrics that are definitely not targeted toward your crush. | Image: Meta Instagram Notes, the social network's recently launched text status feature that reminds me of the AOL Instant Messenger away messages of my youth, is expanding to the EU, UK, and Japan this week, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced Monday. The rollout is beginning on Monday, spokesperson Christine Pai said in an email to The Verge.
Notes are short text posts of up to 60 characters that float above your profile icon and disappear after 24 hours. The feature officially launched in December, and Mosseri says it's done really well" in Asia, North America, and Latin America and specifically with teens." The later launch in Europe and Japan was to ensure the feature complied with local regulations, Mosseri said.
