Instagram has just added an update that helps solve one of the most common problems with social networks: they're flat. In real life we tend to have different friend and contact groups for different parts of our lives – work colleagues, school friends, close friends and so on – but many social networks just mash them all together and share your stuff to everyone. Instagram's Close Friends feature changes that.
Close Friends isn't a new feature, but until now it's been limited to your Stories and Notes: it enables you to limit those things to small groups of people that you define as close friends. Now, though, the feature has been rolled out to your main feed, so you can apply it to your posts and to your reels too. This is a really welcome improvement.
