social media platforms are constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of their users. Instagram, one of the most popular social networking sites, is no exception.

In a bid to enhance user privacy and control over their content, Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to share their feed posts with a select group of individuals, also known as Close Friends.

The new option to share feed posts with Close Friends only is a way for users to share more personal and candid content with a smaller group of people. This can be helpful for sharing photos and videos that you don't want everyone to see, such as vacation photos, goofy selfies, or screenshots of your conversations with friends.
