Instagram is discontinuing the text notes feature for feed posts and Reels due to low adoption rates. While it was successful in direct messages, it did not resonate with users elsewhere. Chief Adam Mosseri stated that this decision aims to simplify the app by removing underused features, enhancing user experience. Notes will remain available in DMs, but their removal from feed posts and Reels shows Instagram's data-driven approach to managing features.
