Instagram Notes: Heres how to use them

The Meta-owned social media app Instagram recently got updated with a host of new features. While the ability to share YouTube Music and changes made to Instagram Stories may have been missed by most people, one feature that has caught everyone’s attention in the past few days is Instagram Notes. 

What are Instagram Notes?

In case you’ve been wondering what Instagram Notes actually is, it is a text-based feature that allows users to communicate with their followers. It lets users share around 60 characters with their followers, which will show up in those followers' direct messages. 

This feature is a lot like Stories as your followers can reply to the notes created by you, and the Notes will disappear after 24 hours.

How to use Instagram Notes?

Follow the steps mentioned below to start using Notes for yourself:

First up, to get started, open the DMs tab in your Instagram app. Once there, click the "Your Note" button. Write anything you want under 60 characters. The Note you wrote would be visible to your followers for the next 24 hours. Your followers can even reply to these Notes and you can do the same for anyone else’s Notes.

If you still haven’t got the feature, don’t worry as while the Notes feature has been rolled out to a lot of users, most of the users still have not got the update till now.

Twitter banned more than 57000 accounts in India recently: Heres why

Facing a massive controversy over the proliferation of child pornography on its platform in India, Twitter said on Saturday that it banned 57,643 accounts in the country for promoting child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity and allied content between July 26 and August 25.

Earlier this week, Delhi Commission for Women chairperson Swati Maliwal had said the replies received from Twitter in the child pornography complaints were incomplete and the Commission was not satisfied with them.

Maliwal had on September 20 summoned Twitter India Policy Head and Delhi Police over tweets depicting child pornography and rape videos of women and children on the micro-blogging platform.

Taking suo moto cognisance of several tweets openly depicting videos and photographs of sexual acts involving children, the Commission said that most of the tweets portrayed children completely naked and many of them also depicted brutal rape and other non-consensual sexual activities with children and women.

Twitter, in its monthly report in compliance with the new IT Rules, 2021, also said that it received 1,088 complaints from users in India in the same time-frame through its grievance redressal mechanisms.

Acting on the complaints, the company took action against 41 URLs.

In addition, "we processed 76 grievances which were appealing Twitter account suspensions. These were all resolved and the appropriate responses were sent", said the company.

"We overturned none of these account suspensions after reviewing the specifics of the situation," it added.

Twitter also received 15 requests related to general questions about accounts during this reporting period.

The company said it "does not tolerate any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation -- whether in Direct Messages or elsewhere throughout the service".

In India, the users complained the most about online abuse and harassment (544) and hateful conduct (502), among other categories.

Meanwhile, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk this week expressed grave concerns over reports about the presence of tweets soliciting child pornography on Twitter.

Reacting to a report on how major advertising brands have pulled out from Twitter as their promotion posts appeared alongside child porn tweets, Musk said: "Extremely concerning."
