Instagram's “notes” feature allows you to post quick notes with your close friends or followers and people can then reply to them using the DMs. Your notes will be visible at the top of the Chats list for 24 hours. After this time, your note will no longer be visible on Instagram. People and businesses use notes to promote their products, offer customer service, or just connect with their fans. Some notes can be annoying, so Instagram allows you to mute them. This wikiHow article will help you to mute notes from a user with a few steps!
