How To Mute 'Pesky' Notes On Instagram Posts And Reels: Simple Steps To Follow

Are you tired of those pesky Notes cluttering up your Instagram feed? You can easily mute them on Posts and Reels with these simple steps.

Meta-owned Instagram keeps expanding its features to offer a more engaging user experience. Recently, the popular social media platform enhanced its Notes feature, sparking mixed reactions from users worldwide. Originally introduced in 2022 for sending short, 60-character messages to friends, Notes now lets users leave comments on Reels and feed posts. These small messages appear above the content and disappear after three days unless deleted earlier. While designed to enhance private interactions, many users find this feature more annoying than helpful.
