Instagram, a popular photo-sharing platform, which already has a lot of features under the pipeline, has now expanded its Close Friends feature to posts and reels. Earlier, the close friends were limited to the Stories and Notes, where the users had a choice to choose a list of people with whom they wanted to share the content.
Mark Zuckerberg said on Instagram's broadcasting channel that the feature will work similarly to how Stories work, that is, with a small group of users. For example, if a user creates a reel or a post for close friends, it will be hidden from other users. Furthermore, if a Close friend comments on a post or a reel, it will be accessible exclusively to the other Close friends and not to all users.
With this new function, the firm hopes to provide greater privacy for users who do not want to discuss personal developments with all of their followers. For creators, the tool might be a game changer because it allows them to share material with customers willing to pay.
How To Share Reels And Posts With Close Friends?
If you are also wondering how you can share the reels and posts with your close friends, here are simple steps to do so.
1. While you are posting your reel or a post, you will be able to see a new ‘Audience’ option which allows you to customise if you want to share updates with everyone who follows you or limit it to the Close Friends and tap on Done.
2. Similar to the stories, you will be able to see a green ring indicating the post or Reel which means it is visible to the Close.
