The U.S. market received the new enhancement late compared to other countries.

Instagram Notes was first launched in December 2022.

After months of waiting, U.S.-based users can now try the new Instagram Notes.

However, since the feature is still being rolled out, only a limited number of Americans can try the in-app enhancement.

He added that it would also be launched in Japan, and the United Kingdom, as well as EU countries.

"Notes are now available in Europe and Japan. Check it out and let me know what you think!" said Mosseri via his official Twitter post.

For those wondering why the U.S. and other mentioned countries waited longer, this is because they have stricter privacy regulations.

Instagram tends to roll out features slowly because the company wants to receive selected users' feedback before all IG users can access the enhancements.

Mosseri said that the new Instagram Notes received positive comments from users, especially teenagers.

How to Use Instagram Notes

If you are among the lucky American users who can access the new Instagram Notes, you can easily enjoy this feature.

1. First, click the DM option located in the top-right corner of your screen. 
2. After that, click your profile picture.
