Instagram’s Secret Sharing: Testing Posts Exclusively for Close Friends
Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi recently shared some exciting news about a potential upcoming feature on Instagram. It seems that Instagram is currently in the works of introducing a feature that will allow users to create posts exclusively visible to their Close Friends.
Once this feature is launched, it will provide users with the freedom to share their goofy moments, photo dumps, and any content they prefer to keep away from the general public, while still sharing it with their closest circle. This means you can have a separate space on your feed where only your closest friends can access and engage with this content. Moreover, this feature could also present a new opportunity for content creators and influencers to monetize their posts by providing exclusive information solely to their Close Friends.
According to Paluzzi’s findings, Instagram is planning to introduce a new “Audience” tab when posting content. Within this tab, users will be able to choose between sharing their posts with everyone or limiting the visibility to their Close Friends. As a result, both Instagram Stories and regular feed posts could feature exclusive content specifically tailored for select individuals.
If and when this feature becomes available, it could revolutionize how users curate their content on Instagram and offer a more intimate and personalized sharing experience. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting development.
The exact release date for Instagram’s Close Friends feature remains uncertain at this time. However, it seems unlikely that the company will segregate Close Friends content between Stories and the main feed.
In recent news, Instagram has introduced an exciting new feature that allows users to add soundtracks to their photo posts on the feed. Furthermore, they are currently testing this feature on carousel posts and even on Notes, a feature that is still gaining traction. Another notable update is that users can now include multiple links in their bio.
These changes suggest that Instagram aims to cater to the diverse preferences of its users by offering a wide range of features. From appealing to a larger audience to maintaining close connections with friends, the app now intends to consolidate various types of posts within users’ main accounts. This approach eliminates the need for separate profiles dedicated to specific niche audiences and encourages a more comprehensive posting experience.
Instagram’s commitment to enhancing user experience and accommodating different needs is evident in these recent updates. As the platform continues to evolve, we can anticipate even more exciting features and improvements to further enrich the Instagram community.
