Instagram has just launched a new function for its stories. And it seems that there is still cloth to cut with the Instagram stories or Instagram Stories, which do not stop giving joy to Facebook (owner of the application). From now on you can create a group of best friends with whom you can share Instagram Stories privately. Without having to do it one by one and easily.
The idea is to have a predetermined group of people with whom to share these stories that you don't want to make completely public.The list of best friends is not public, so no one will know who you do and who you don't share those photos or videos with. The good thing is that the feature integrates directly into Instagram stories in a natural way. So it's fast, comfortable and simple. Of course, you have to configure this group of Best Friends first.

How to create a group of Best Friends
The task is simple. It is enough to travel to the profile itself, in the tab on the right. Once here you have to open the side menu by clicking on the three lines in the upper right corner. This is where a new menu appears called Best Friends List
When accessing it, the contacts that are followed on Instagram are displayed. First, a tab appears with friends suggestions to create the aforementioned list of Best Friends.We can click on the Add button to the right of any of them to add them to the list. As we said, this list is private to them. They will never know who else receives your private stories.
There is a second tab with the members of this list. This way you can review all those people who are included and, if necessary, exclude any of them For that there is a Delete button to the right of each contact from this list.
And that's it. This group of created people, who do not know that they are a group among themselves, are the ones chosen to receive your Instagram Stories privately. Of course, for that, you have to publish these contents exclusively.
How to publish private Instagram Stories
Next to the Best Friends List menu, Instagram Stories has added a new button when sharing a story.When we have activated this list, and after having taken the photo or recorded the video of the story, two options appear to publish. One of them is the classic one, which publishes the story on your profile for all your contacts. The other option, in green color, refers only to the Best Friends list. By selecting this option, the story is sent individually to each of them. And what is most important, privately.
If it happens with us, that is, if we are introduced to a list of Best Friends of other contacts, we will see a green circle around the storiesof that contact who has sent us content privately. It is the way to indicate that the content is not public to everyone. Also, as a reminder, while viewing private stories, you will also see a green circle.Again, it is a way of identifying what is public and what is private, to keep us aware of the type of stories we are seeing.
How to have the Best Friends option
