Instagram has announced the ability to create a close friend list on Stories and share your Stories just with them. Thanks to this feature, you have the flexibility to share more personal moments with a smaller group that you choose.
To add people to your list, go to your profile and tap on “Close Friends” in the side menu. Only you can see your close friends list and no one can request to be added and you also have the ability to adjust the list whenever you want. When you share to Stories, you’ll see the option to share with just the people on your close friend’s list.
If someone has added you to their list, you will see a green badge when you’re viewing their stories. You’ll also see a green ring around their profile photo in the Stories tray. Instagram Close Friends feature is already available for Android and iOS worldwide.
