Instagram Notes has become one of the most important innovations that the application has received recently.
However, not everyone shows up. This worries many as it has been four months since their arrival, but there is no official statement from Instagram saying when they will be available to every single user once and for all.
Fortunately, there is a possible solution – or rather several – so that you can activate Instagram notes, and now let’s go with them.
- Instagram Notes is a feature that allows users to share texts and short sentences (60 characters maximum) in the form of speech bubbles as if they were states.
- It’s located in the Account Posts section, just above conversations. To find them, simply click on the Chat icon in the upper right corner of the mobile app.
Update Instagram to the latest version
It is very normal for Instagram notes not to show because you do not have the latest version of the application. It is necessary to have the latest news.
On android
- First of all Open the Play Store on your phone.
- Then click on the icon that appears with your profile photo in the upper right corner of the shop.
- Now click on the Manage devices and apps entry.
- There, look for the entrance of available updates and go into it. It will show all installed apps that do not have the latest version, including Instagram.
- Finally, click on the Update button that appears right next to Intagram, nothing more. All that remains is to wait for the update to complete.
You can also update Instagram through the Play Store by simply going to the store, typing the name of the application in the search bar and clicking the button Update that appears next to the app in the list of search results.
On iPhone
Process to update Instagram on iPhone:
- Open the App Store.
- Go to Account. Click on the profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Check if Instagram is up to date. In this case, click on the Update button that appears next to the application.
It is recommended to restart the phone on both Android and iPhone. This should be more than enough to enable Instagram Notes.
Uninstall and reinstall Instagram for notes
If you still don’t see Instagram notes, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. It may work, as many users report that their Instagram notes appear later, some immediately, and some within minutes or hours.
To remove Instagram from your mobile phone, be it Android or iPhone, simply press and hold the app icon until the floating options menu appears. After uninstalling Instagram, you need to install it again from the Play Store or App Store. This will be enough for Instagram notes to appear in the Chats section.
Use a VPN to connect from another part of the World
| Initially, the update to introduce Instagram Notes was rolled out worldwide. However, not all users have understood it and this may be because in some cases they are restricted by regions and countries. It is also possible that they are limited to a certain number of users and that number grows over time until they are eventually available to everyone. |
| Anyway, if it depends on the region or country, there is a way to view Instagram notes on your phone and that is through a VPN. It allows you to connect to the Internet from anywhere in the world and simulate being in another city or country. This trick has worked for many users, so it’s worth trying if Instagram notes still don’t appear. |
| You just need to install any VPN. There are many on the Android Play Store and iPhone App Store, and the best part is that most of them are free. Just choose the one you like the most and install it on your mobile. Then open the application and click the Connect to VPN button. Open Instagram and go to the Chat section. Check if you have the notes. Close and reopen the application. They don’t show up the first time. |
