How To Add Disappearing Notes To Instagram Reels Posts

What are Disappearing Notes on Instagram?

Instagram notes let you share your current status, mood, or even a song with your friends and followers. It even received the ability to take short videos. But now the platform has expanded Notes to posts and Reels. Think of it as a comment that will appear floating as a bubble on top of the Reel.
The best part is, that it’ll only be visible to followers who follow you back or close friends. You can manage whom you are sharing it with while drafting the note. And it automatically disappears after 3 days unless deleted.

How to Add Disappearing Notes on Instagram

Now that we have given you a brief explanation of the feature, let us take a look at how you can create and share your own note on Instagram posts or Reels.

Things to Know Before Leaving a Note on Instagram Posts or Reels

Your note will disappear automatically after 3 full days. Only people who follow you back will be able to read the note you’ve left on the post. Others will not get notified when you leave a post unless you have tagged them in it. People will only see the note when they come across it while browsing Instagram. The notes won’t be visible even to the creator of the post themselves. The creator can choose to disable this option, so you won’t be able to create a note over their content.

That’s how you can leave a disappearing secret note on Instagram posts and Reels. The feature is already out, but if you haven’t received it yet, then make sure you are using the latest version of the app. I think it’s a good feature but given the nature of the platform, it will probably be used for gossiping about someone behind their back or making fun of them. That’s why I feel at least the creator should know about the contents of the note. What do you think about this feature? Have you tried it yet, or just learning about it now?
