Meta-owned social media app Instagram is rolling out new updates for Notes to celebrate its first anniversary of the feature. Instagram head Adam Mosseri on his broadcast channel announced the new features on Friday.

Instagram users can now record and post a short, looping video on Notes and they can also respond to friends' notes using photo, video, GIFs and stickers, Mosseri said.

"We hope these help you express yourself and connect with your friends on Instagram," he wrote.

One unique aspect of video Notes is the requirement to share content exclusively captured from the front-facing camera within the Instagram app. Unlike Stories, users cannot upload clips from their phone's gallery. Also, the videos can only be 2 seconds long.

How To Create Video Notes On Instagram?

  • Navigate to the Direct Messages (DM) inbox on the Instagram app.

  • Tap on a photo in the Notes tray.

  • Click the Camera button on top of the photo.

  • Tap the Record button to capture the 2-second clip.

  • Add text and share the video.

Earlier this week, Instagram introduced its generative AI-powered background editing tool to U.S.-based.

"With backdrop, you can reimagine your image’s background with just a few taps and a prompt like ‘chased by dinosaurs’ or ‘surrounded by puppies’ to create an entirely new image for your Story," Meta’s lead for generative AI, Ahmad Al-Dahle, posted on Threads.

"Tap the button for a backdrop at the top of a new Story to get started. And once you’ve posted, a “Try it” sticker will appear when you share the image created, making it even easier for your friends to use backdrop for the first time," he wrote.
