Instagram Developing Tool To Record Audio Notes
Meta-owned Instagram is developing a feature that will allow users to create voice notes.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said on his broadcast Friday that “we haven’t started testing anything publicly yet, but we’re working on creating voice notes to share with your friends.”
Meta first introduced “Notes” on Instagram in December of last year, helping users share their thoughts and see what their friends are up to.
When Meta introduced Notes, it had said that the feature would allow users to create short messages of up to 60 characters using only text and emoticons.
However, in June, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg had announced that users can now add 30-second song clips to Notes on Instagram.
Last week, Mosseri had announced that the platform was testing a new group mention feature that would allow users to tag more than one person in a story with a single mention.
This feature is useful because tagging multiple people with a single mention makes stories clearer and less cluttered, providing a better viewing experience for followers.
Earlier this month, the platform had launched a feature to better protect users from unwanted DM requests.
With this feature, people who want to send DM requests to users who aren’t following them face two new restrictions.
First, users can send just one message to someone who doesn’t follow them, instead of sending them an infinite number of DM requests.
Second, DM invitations are now text-only, meaning users can only send pictures, videos, or audio messages to people who aren’t following them after the recipient accepts the invitation to chat.
