Instagram news: Australian users will be interested in adding a new app similar to MSN messenger | Tech Reddy

A new Instagram feature called ‘notes’ has been adapted by Instagram users to the popular MSN Messenger.

The new feature gives Instagram users the opportunity to send short messages to fans who follow them or to their list of close friends.

It looks like a digital note that users can share for select friends to see. Notes are limited to 60 characters and like an Instagram story, they disappear after 24 hours.

The feature was first released in some countries in June but was only available in Australia on Wednesday.

Instagram influencer and I’m a celebrity … Take me here! Contestant David Subritzky told the Sydney Morning Herald that he is a fan of the new trend.

‘I woke up in the morning and saw how the new notes were and people were like ‘Oh my god, what is this?’ said Mr. Subritzky.

‘So I put a note and I said ‘the middle finger question mark’ because I just wanted to mix it up a little bit because everyone was so bored.

‘Many developers on Instagram will post pictures that they have completely edited and taken four days ago. I think Instagram needs more credibility because it’s not enough.

‘It reminds me of MSN messenger and the old Facebook posts.’

MSN Messenger was a popular messaging platform in the 2000s that allowed users to send personalized messages next to their names.

Instagram has been known to take inspiration from other successful social media platforms.

‘Stories’ were added after the success of Snapchat Stories and the addition of Instagram Videos – short video clips – similar to TikTok.

Instagram Posts are less interactive because users are not notified of them with a push notification, they are stuck in an inbox.

It’s an easy way to stand out in the inbox and not be read as chat, anything more than direct messages.

For Gen-Z Instagram users who don’t have the nostalgia of MSN, many feel the feature is irrelevant.

Tara Aksentijevic, 17, believes the foundation needs to be redone for other reasons, and the new notes section is ‘unnecessary and unnecessary’.

‘They can fix other issues instead of adding new features. I don’t think people use it for a long time,’ Ms Aksentijevic said.

The update comes as Meta – which owns Instagram – laid off more than 11,000 employees via email.

Employees received confirmation of the hacking of a company email, in which CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he had made a ‘mistake’.

He has taken responsibility for the problems that affected 13 percent of Meta’s workers.

In his email to employees, Zuckerberg told employees that it was necessary to liquidate after the company lost two-thirds of its value.

‘Not only is online shopping back to normal, but the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and the loss of advertising brands have made our revenue less than I thought it would be. ,” Zuckerberg said.

‘I did this wrong, and I take responsibility for it.’

He also said that the company was overstaffed because he was serious about its growth.

The company said it will pay 16 weeks of base pay and an additional two weeks for each year of service as part of the severance package, and pay all remaining pay periods.

Meta – which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp – has about 87,000 employees – so the cuts of 13 percent will more than double the number of accounts that Twitter has lost.
