"Close Friends": Instagram launches a new interesting feature

*ISLAMABAD - Social Networking site Instagram has launched a new feature for the users.*

*As per the Media report, Instagram launched a new feature dubbed “Close Friends” allowing users to share their stories with a smaller group of people.*

The new feature, which will appear on the user’s profile in the side menu enables Instagram’s more than 1 billion users to create a smaller group of friends and share stories exclusively with the group.

“If you’re on someone’s close friends list, you’ll see a green ring around their photo in the Stories tray and a green badge when you’re viewing their stories,” Instagram said in a statement to Reuters.

Facebook has been focusing on Instagram, its fastest-growing revenue generator, as the social networking website’s core platform has come under fire from regulators pushing to improve information safeguards for individual privacy, to combat addiction to social media, and to stop misinformation or fake news.
