Instagram Is Rolling Out An Option To Share Feed Posts With CLOSE FRIENDS only

To accommodate evolving human behaviours, Instagram is coming up with an option to share feed posts with close friends only.

As you can see in the example below, posted by influencer marketing expert Lia Haberman (via creator Jordan Shalhoub), some users are now seeing a new ‘Audience’ selector option within the post composer flow, which enables them to share their feed post with ‘Close Friends’ only, as opposed to posting to their profile as normal.

It’s actually an expansion of the Close Friends option that Instagram added for Stories back in 2018.

Instagram has experimented with several other variations of private sharing, a few of which have included methods to share posts with chosen customers, whereas it’s also possible to switch your profile to private to limit your posts from public view. However this new choice would make it simpler to restrict who can see your posts, with a direct immediate throughout the creation circulate that allows you to activate this setting on a post-by-post foundation.

The option to Share Feed Posts With CLOSE FRIENDS Only will be rolling out globally very soon.

Instagram has not yet provided a definite date for the same.

It’s not a major change, and functionally, it’s not a big shift either. But it would provide another option to facilitate more enclosed group discussion, which could help IG lean into the latest behavioral trends.
