Mosseri didn’t provide any further details about the upcoming feature, but he did share a screenshot of the new functionality. According to the screenshot, the tagged location will be displayed above the text in Notes, similar to how added music clips are shown.

Last month, Instagram head announced that the company was working on the ability to create “audio notes”, allowing users to record their audio to share in Notes on the platform. 

What are Notes?

Instagram Notes feature was announced by Meta in December last year. Notes are short posts of up to 60 characters. When launched, users were only able to add text and emojis to their Notes. However, in June, the company rolled out the ability to add 30-second song clips to Notes.
