Travel Planners Will Love Instagram's Updated Note Feature — Here's Why
30.05.2024 - 21:21 / travelandleisure.com
Instagram has long been a place filled with travel inspiration, but now, the app is taking things a step further with an update to its Notes feature.
As of Thursday, users can ask friends for travel recommendations and more via Notes Prompts, Meta, Instagram's parent company announced in a press release shared with Travel + Leisure.
«Today, we're excited to launch Notes Prompts, which makes it easy for the Instagram community to ask friends for recommendations and connect over them,» Ashley Alexander, the head of product management at Instagram, said in a statement. «With summer travel season here, Notes prompts are the perfect way to source ideas from friends on hotels, restaurants, and activities when planning a trip.»

As Alexander noted (no pun intended, we swear), travelers can use the new feature to plan just about every kind of trip, including gathering summer travel recs to asking friends and followers for their «favorite honeymoon spots,» or asking for «recommendations on what to do in certain destinations.»
Instagrammers can also use it to crowdsource recommendations on the best luggage, headphones, and travel gear.
Beyond posting questions using Notes Prompts, users can now utilize Notes Likes, which allow you to quickly react to your friends' notes with likes. (To like a note, just double tap the note or click the heart icon." You can also now use Notes @ Mentions to tag friends directly.)
Of course, you can also try using the new Notes Prompts to start Instagram debates with your friends on extremely hot topics like we did — including if it's ever ok to take your shoes off on a plane (I'm team socks, sorry), exactly how many pairs of underwear is acceptable to bring on vacation (a pair for every day plus an extra, you know, just in case), and if you should feel bad about reclining your seat on your next plane ride (team recline forever!).
