Sharing posts with ‘Close Friends’ on IG might happen at long last

Instagram is currently testing a feature that will allow its users to share feed posts with their ‘Close Friends’ group.

Reportedly, a number of users have noticed the feature.

TechCrunch reached out to the company which confirmed that it is testing the feature in a few countries, but didn’t specify which ones.

“We’re testing the ability for people in select countries to share feed posts with their Close Friends. We’re always exploring new ways for our community to express themselves and connect on Instagram,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement.

If this feature gets officially launched, users will no longer have to create alternative accounts known as ‘finsta’ accounts.

In 2018, users were introduced to the option of sharing Instagram Stories with a private list of ‘Close Friends’.
