Meta-owned American photo and video-sharing social networking service Instagram is expanding its Close Friends feature beyond Stories and Notes to feed posts and Reels.
Now, users will be able to share Reels and feed posts with a smaller, more trusted group instead of everyone who follows them, according to Engadget.
The company said that folks use Close Friends “as a pressure-free space to connect with the people that matter most.”
