Instagram Will Soon Have A New Audio Clip Option On Notes

While the feature has been in testing for quite some time now, we’re hearing more about how the Instagram app is finally on the road to launching a new audio clip option for Notes.

The news was unveiled by the app’s head Adam Mosseri through his channel on the app. This is where he claimed the option would be for the Notes feature and would serve as a great source of engagement for users through group prompts. The latter showcases a bubble-like feature toward the top of the app’s inbox so that all contacts the user can easily view it.


The latest on this front is that while no tests were done publicly by the company yet, they are working toward the chance to produce audio notes that can now be shared with the users’ contacts easily.

We can see how audio notes could serve as a popular endeavor in those parts of the world where speaking several different languages is common. And people could speak the language better than actually writing it down. Moreover, a similar feature is also launching for Threads to help enhance cultural diversity and promote user engagement.

We saw the app roll out its Notes feature at the end of 2022. And that was done after seeing how popular of a feature DMs were and how they could serve as a great way for interactions on the app. Meanwhile, the platform’s main feed was slowly converting into a place for discovering new elements and less of a social interaction.

We’ve seen the popular social media app TikTok at the forefront in this regard. It placed less emphasis on finding who you knew and favored more on putting the best kind of posts in focus. And ever since then, we’ve seen tech giant Meta work along this theory for both its Facebook and Instagram platforms where more people shared updates through stories than actual Direct Messages in inboxes.

Therefore, Notes certainly has a unique purpose for engagement and helps to put out chat prompts so more individuals can witness it all. And more and more people are adopting the trend, especially the newer generation.

In the month of June of this year, we saw the platform generating reports linked to more than 100 million youngsters publishing a Note. Meanwhile, Meta also claimed how recent stats proved that a teenager was ten times more likely to produce a Note than an older individual.

So, keeping all of this in focus, the app is finally including the chance to have songs as a part of your Note. And we can certainly see audio clips as the latest feature to better user experience and engagement.

Seeing such types of endeavors get adapted into the app’s latest shift in trends is definitely intriguing. Who knew that Notes could turn out to be such a crucial element. However, it is in line with the current trends of using the platform and even serves as a reliable and convenient means to inform contacts about what they’re up to.

Most youngsters usually turn to platforms such as Snapchat for things like this. So now, seeing Instagram’s Notes on the rise and fulfilling that desire is great to witness. Did we mention how it’s definitely a wonderful source of success for Instagram?

Audio clips aren’t sounding too big of a launch to many but it’s a wonderful way to better engagement and with so many communities making use of the app, what could possibly be better?
