Close Friends Instagram Feature 2018





Are you a regular Instagram user? Do you use the stories feature in the app? Then this new feature that the company had recently introduced to the app is for you. The feature is called the Instagram Close Friends Feature that has launched in 2018.





With this ultimate new feature, you can share your stories with lesser people. So that you could keep your things private.





You can see the review of the feature from this video made by Elementroll:









As the name suggests you can keep your friends close with you with this, you can share photos and videos with only a group of your followers with this new feature.





Instagram will tell you to choose a group of your followers who you need to be seen as close friends and will allow you to share stories exclusively with them.



You can also share stories with everyone like before also, but now you will be able to choose to whom this story should be sent - Close friends or Everyone. That's the difference. This feature was previously available on Facebook, and finally to Instagram also.



Social media companies have identified that people are more comfortable when sharing things with a few than a whole bunch of people, the popularity messenger apps had got is the best example for this. So they are developing features that will make the platform more private.



The product director of Instagram, Robby Stein said that it took more than a year to make this feature. This feature is available to the users now.

Here are the steps you need to follow to use this new feature effectively:

First of all, go to your profile and tap on the three lines .

The stories you share with the close friends have a green color circle around it rather than a usual pink color.





You are only able to create one close friend's list in the app, which means that you could not create one for family, another for friends, like that. The reason behind this is that the platform had realized that people do not tend to use this new feature when there are multiple choices.





Instagram is making the platform better each and every day by updating the app regularly by adding new and cool features consistently.





That's It! It was a post on the latest Close friends Instagram feature 2018.
