Instagram users can now share Reels and posts exclusively with their Close Friends.
On Tuesday, the Meta-owned social media platform announced a new tool that could make your feed look significantly different: certain posts will appear only for those on your Close Friends list, indicated by the green star icon already associated with the existing feature.
SEE ALSO:Instagram's Close Friends feature is essential for my mental healthClose Friends has been favored by many Instagram users, who use the feature as a protected space, separate from the inherent pressures of social media. The feature allows users to share Stories and Notes with a select group of people out of a larger following. Notably, Close Friends can see each other's usernames if they like, comment on, or share your post.
Credit: InstagramWith the new update, users will have the opportunity to share even more content with this list. It has the potential to resemble or even replicate what "finstas" once offered: a place to post things you didn't want everyone to see on your main feed.
Here's how to do it.
Step 1:Upload a post or Reel.
Press the + button in the middle of the menu at the bottom of the app. Choose 'Post' or 'Reel', edit whatever you want to share to your liking, then hit 'Next'.
Step 2:Tap "Audience".
Before sharing, click "Audience" (under "Tag people"), then select "Close Friends".

Your post will then be visible to only those on your Close Friends list, noted with a little green star icon at the top right.
