To the Instagram notes were different this Friday (9). If you’ve opened the app, you may have noticed that some of the short messages that appear above users’ profile photos have a yellow (or gold) background instead of white.
The answer is a new feature that changes the color of notes with the word “gold” (gold), in tribute to the Paris Olympics — and the gold medals won by the athletes.
The color change also occurs with other terms related to the Games, such as “Olympics” or medal emojis.
As Meta did not officially announce the news, users found out about the change themselves when using the word in their notes.
Instagram’s notes feature was launched in late 2022, and allows users to post a short temporary message (up to 60 characters) on the social network. These messages appear above profile photos, in the direct message area.
Of course, the change didn’t just generate buzz on Instagram, users of X, formerly Twitter, also commented on the new function. There were those who liked it, there were those who thought it was cheesy and of course, there were also the memes.
