Instagram users are scratching their heads as they notice their Notes on the platform mysteriously turning gold.
This new feature was added in a recent update to celebrate a special sporting event, leaving many users curious as to how they can achieve the same.
The golden notes on Instagram are actually part of a feature to commemorate the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics Games.
This change is meant to symbolize the “going-for-gold” theme of the Games, adding a festive touch to the social media platform.
Instagram’s goal with this new feature is to engage users with the Olympics and bring a sense of celebration and unity to the site.
By turning their notes gold, users can show their support and enthusiasm for the upcoming sporting event, which is one of the most watched worldwide.
For those not familiar with Instagram Notes, it is a type of disappearing content similar to Instagram stories. Instead of focusing on visuals, users can write short messages for their followers to read.
This feature allows for more personal and direct communication with friends and followers.
To turn your Instagram Notes gold, simply include specific Olympic-related keywords such as “gold,” “Olympics,” or “medal” in your notes.
Additionally, using emojis like the gold medal, the GOAT (Greatest of All Time), or the torch can also trigger the golden note feature.
The new feature is now available to all users, but make sure you have the latest Instagram update installed to access it.
