You Can Now Make Your Instagram Story Visible To ‘Close Friends’
It may have taken 18 months, but Instagram has finally come up with a response to the thousands of "Finstagram" accounts.
Finstagram (Finsta for short) is defined by Urban Dictionary as “a mixture of Fake & Instagram. People, usually girls, get a second Instagram account along with their real instagrams, rinstagrams, to post any pictures or videos they desire. The photos or videos posted are usually funny or embarrassing. Only your closest friends follow this account.
With Instagram's "close friends" feature you will no longer need a Finsta to share your embarrassing photos and videos with friends, but how do you use it?
According to The Verge, just "open up the Stories camera and take a photo or video. After you finish your shot, you’ll notice a new green circle with a white star in it. Tap it, and you’ll be brought to the close friends list where you can add people to your inner circle."
Way easier than an entire separate Instagram account!
