Within that habitual evolution, it makes sense for Instagram to add more messaging features, and experiments like this could help to spark more engagement, and make chats more interesting in the app. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>I would guess that it ends up being a lightly used option, but then again, Notes have driven a lot more engagement for Instagram, especially among younger users.
