If you logged on to Instagram recently and were really confused as to why your inbox page looks so different, it's because of Instagram's latest update. On Tuesday, Instagram launched a note-sharing feature which allows users to share texts and emojis with others in the same way you would typically share a photo to your story.

Your direct message (DM) inbox page now has a banner on the top that showcases profiles and the message the users have shared. To add your very own message, all you have to do is click your photo, type the text and send. 

The Note feature uses the same model as story sharing, keeping the 60 character messages up on your profile for only 24 hours.

Users also have the option to easily react on other's Notes by clicking on the note and sending an emoji or a message back. The messages will appear in the recipient's DMs. 

The purpose of this feature is to easily spur conversations between users and "give people a casual and spontaneous way to express themselves and connect with each other," according to Instagram. 

It's another step towards building out Instagram as a messaging app beyond just sharing images. 

Instagram is also testing a candid stories feature
