\nImages\/Videos that disappear after 24 hours can almost be considered a \u2018standard\u2019 feature, considering how many apps have it. Although it can\u2019t be classified as much of a \u2018problem\u2019, the only gripe that people have wit is that they have to broadcast their Stories to everyone. Today, Instagram has announced a new feature that let\u2019s create a group of \u2018close friends\u2019 who you can broadcast the more personal stuff. According to their latest blog post.
The feature is called Close Friends. Much like Facebook friends\u2019 lists, you can add and remove followers from the list at any time. The user in question wouldn\u2019t know, obviously. The list can be accessed from the side menu on your profile. After setting it up, when you share a Story, you\u2019ll have the option to send it to all your followers, or just your smaller Close Friends list.

The only real-world use of the feature I can think of is to prevent your annoying aunt from knowing about the dozen Tequila shots you did last night. While followers won\u2019t be notified if they\u2019re added to or removed from your Close Friends list, a badge appears in the Stories of people whose Close Friends lists you\u2019re on. So, if you don\u2019t see a badge around your name the next time a friend posts a story, know that you may have been demoted to the \u2018rest of the world\u2019 list. The feature is available on both Android and iOS and should be available via an update.<\/p>\n
