How To Use Instagram's Close Friends Feature-Share Stories with Favorite people

Instagram has just rolled out one of its biggest updates for the year and that is creating a group called close friends and you could share your stories with those limited number of people. So you basically have a favorite list of favorite close friends groups and I want to show you how to use it in this video.

If it's your first time here, I make daily tech and social media videos, just like this one. So please consider subscribing let's jump in here. So there's a couple of different ways you could get to the close friend's section. I'm going to show you all the different ones here. One is on your profile page here.

You could just click the dropdown and you should see your followers and close friends. You see those two different tabs. So if you press close friends, will take you there. And another way to get there is you could press the three lines on the top right and you should see close friends there, but I'm going to show you a third way that most people are going to use again, if you don't see this, it was rolled out at the end of November.

So if you don't see it, update your Instagram app, give it a little bit of time. It will show up. So the last way to do it is to do a story post. So jump into your story here. Just go ahead and take a picture here and once you take a picture on the bottom, now you could share it with your story by clicking that or next to it.

There's a close friends option. Let's go ahead and press that. So it says, adds people to your close friend list. I don't have one yet, so I need to create one. So if I say not now, it's just going to go away. So I need to say, add to the list and it's going to, again, take me to the same place. I just showed you a different way.

So that's three different ways you could get to this page. Once you get here, you could select some people to add to your close friend's list just like that or you could go ahead and search for some people. That's another way to get to it. I'm just going to go ahead and add these close friends based on my activities and then I'm going to press done here. It also says learn how it works. So you go, go ahead and click that, to see how exactly that works and read about it here. I'm going to press done and I'm going to press down one more time to create my close friends. So if I tap close friends, now it's going to share right to my close friends and it will have a green ring around it.

So if you go to your profile, you see that green ring means everyone else that's following me is not going to see that. Just my close friends that I chose on that list. So if I click that right here on top, it says close friends, and it says only sharing to close friends. I could go ahead and edit my close friend list here.

So then the new option is a really great way to just communicate with the closest group of friends based on some of the things I've read on Instagram. People usually choose between 20 or 30 people to be in their group of close friends. I hope you found this video useful and the close friends option could be beneficial for your Instagram account.
