Instagram is set to revolutionize how we share content with our friends. It is now testing a new feature that would allow users to share their feed posts with only a select group of friends, much like the Close Friends feature that already exists for Stories.
This is great news for users who wish to share more personal or candid content with a select group of people. It will help reduce the need for a ‘finsta’ or ‘fake Instagram’, which is a secondary account used to post content the user does not want to share with their wider audience.
The feature is currently being tested in a few countries, though it is unclear when it will be rolled out to everyone. According to screenshots shared on social media, users will be able to create a Close Friends list and select it when they share a post on their feed, which will be visible to only the people on the list.
The company confirmed to TechCrunch that it is testing the feature and said in a statement, ‘We’re testing the ability for people in select countries to share feed posts with their Close Friends’.
The feature has been well-received by users since the launch of the Close Friends feature for Stories in 2018. The feature gave users more control over who sees their Stories, allowing them to create a more intimate and personal experience on Instagram.
It is exciting to see what other features Instagram will launch in the future to improve the user experience and make the platform even more enjoyable.
