The characteristic was initially noticed by cellular developer Alessandro Paluzzi.
The firm is testing this characteristic in a number of international locations, however which of them will not be recognized but.
Meta-owned Instagram is now testing a characteristic that may enable customers to share feed posts simply with their ‘Close Friends’ group.
Digital media advertising and marketing teacher Lia Haberman posted a screenshot of the brand new characteristic on X (previously Twitter), saying, “Coming to Instagram Close Friends feed post. It’s been spotted by someone posting in the UK. This would be one way to get people off Stories and out of DMs — create a Close Friends feed experience”.
According to TechCrunch, the company is testing this feature in a few countries, but which ones are not known yet.
“We’re testing the ability for people in select countries to share feed posts with their Close Friends. We’re always exploring new ways for our community to express themselves and connect on Instagram,” a Meta spokesperson was quoted as saying.
The feature was initially spotted by mobile developer and leaker Alessandro Paluzzi in May.
“A test of this was spotted in May by @alex193a (Alessandro Paluzzi) but now it’s actually out there for some accounts – do you see Audience in your feed posting options?,” Haberman mentioned.
If the brand new characteristic turns into extensively out there, it could actually cut back the necessity for customers to have another account for simply pals.
Meanwhile, Instagram is reportedly engaged on an extended model of Reels, which is able to let customers file as much as 10 minutes of movies.
Paluzzi shared the event on X, sharing screenshots of two side-by-side Reels pages, one to file for 3 minutes and one other to file for 10 minutes, reviews The Verge.
“#Instagram is engaged on the flexibility to create #Reels as much as 10 minutes lengthy,” he said.
By increasing Reels’ length to 10 minutes, it moves closer to YouTube videos, but not as far as short-term video rival TikTok, which already offers more time to record videos.
