So if you see that you’re not part of a certain person’s list, let that be a sign for you.īesides, we bet you didn’t add some friends of yours in your list as well because you don’t classify them as your ride-or-die. Sure, you may know someone since forever but, as we said before, they won’t be your “constant person” forever. Then again, the “Close Friends” feature also brings to light how we really value people. I guess it is true that as much as social media can bring people together, it can also burn bridges too, regardless if it’s directly or indirectly. What if there was an important event-like a birthday party, your good friend’s despedida, or even just a regular hangout with all your close pals-and you didn’t know about it because no one invited you? You probably didn’t see updates from it because you’re left out of the “Close Friends” loop just like everyone from your friends’ outer circles.Ĭall it “being paranoid,” but it’s a valid and daunting fear. But you have to admit that being deliberately left out and witnessing it via that green Instagram Story circle sucks. We know that following the JOMO mindset is the way to go these days. At first, I never really thought of anything bad about “Close Friends.” But when a friend brought up how anxiety-inducing it must be to see that you don’t receive the same updates from your buddy group, it got me thinking a lot. However, there’s a downside to having this type of exclusivity among friends. As 9to5mac put it, it’s going to replace “finstagram.” Man, that’s dark. Tap the three-bar Menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen, then tap Close friends towards the bottom of the list. Tap your Profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Here’s how: Open the Instagram app on your phone. Only you and your trusted besties will see your silly posts and personal rants. Before you can share a Story with your Close Friends list, you have to add people to that list first. The pros of having this feature is that you sort of get more freedom to post the things you don’t want your family and/or co-workers to see. Remember when people said that Snapchat was better because it’s more personal and you chose the people that’ll see your content? It’s the same concept, except you don’t need to switch apps. You basically add people in the list and they’ll be the only ones who’ll see your Story if you click the green star icon before posting. Instagram recently launched the “ Close Friends” feature for Instagram Stories.
