Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, disclosed that the platform is preparing to remove the feature of commenting with Notes on regular posts and Reels. He justified this decision by citing low user engagement and the increasing complexity of Instagram features. Anything that is not widely used should be taken out, such as the Notes commenting system.
However, Notes, which is a text box displaying status in DM chats, will still be available for use as before. Instagram introduced the Notes comment feature, where a floating text box appears in posts or Reels, since mid-last year. This feature has now been removed in less than a year.

TLDR: Instagram is removing the Notes comment feature due to low user engagement and the increasing complexity of the platform. Notes will still be available for DM chats.
