This is the best summary I could come up with:


Instagram users have been complaining for a while about the impersonal nature of the social network largely due to its algorithmic feed.

To that end, Instagram is now testing a feature that lets you share feed posts just with your ‘Close Friends’ group.

“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 said in a statement.

In 2018, the social network globally launched a feature to share Stories with a private list of ‘Close Friends’.

The next year, the company tried to indulge in the idea of group chatting with Instagram’s ‘Close Friends’ circle through an app called Threads (no, not the social network launched in July).

Why such prejudice against distant friends?
