New interactive features
Instagram has rolled out this new “Close Friends” feature that lets you post stories that are hidden and can only be revealed through DMs. It’s a cool way to kickstart conversations or get more engagement for creators. It’s a neat tool, especially for creators, as it saves them the hassle of approving each DM just to reveal a story and avoids dealing with a flood of messages.
