Introduction

What is the Close Friend, and how can we use it? This is a question that every new user of Instagram has. There is green bottom on an Instagram story called the Close Friends. Before Close Friend was activated on the Instagram application, all the users could see the stories, but by this feature, the page’s admin can filter and choose the users who see the stories.

If you wanted to share the story with desired followers, you should go to the setting and hide the story from those you do not want them to see. Now by this, you can create a group and share with them. 

Especially the public pages have a high number of followers who are friends, known and unknown followers, so they want to show their stories just for whom they want. In fact, by this ability, your story is seen by whom you choose, not everybody. In this article, we want to explain the abilities of Close Friends.
