You may have noticed that your friends and contacts have started using the Instagram Notes feature again, and this time, the notes are appearing in a striking gold color. But what’s behind this change? Why are some notes suddenly golden?
To celebrate the Olympics, Instagram has introduced a special twist: when you type certain keywords, your Instagram Notes will turn gold. While some notes remain the usual white, others are now shining in this special color.
If you’re feeling inspired by the Olympic spirit, here are some of the keywords and emojis you can use to turn your Instagram Notes gold:
- Gold
- Goat
- Medal
- Olympics
- Olympian
- Podium
- Victory
- Flashlight emoji
- Goat emoji
- Gold medal emoji
- Medal emoji
These keywords and emojis are all tied to the themes of triumph and achievement, making them perfect for the occasion. This feature is also Instagram’s way of bringing renewed attention to the Instagram Notes feature, which was initially introduced over a year ago, aiming to replicate the success of Twitter’s Fleets.
To try this out, simply open your Instagram app, swipe left, and tap on your profile picture in the top left corner of the screen. Create a note using one of the words or emojis listed above, and once it’s published, your note will appear in gold.
As of now, it’s uncertain whether this feature will only be available during the Olympics 2024 or if Instagram plans to keep it around longer. The good news is that it’s available on both iOS and Android, so why not give it a try?
