If you have an Instagram account, then you are well aware that close friends is a feature that allows users to create an exclusive list of friends to share private stories with. We believe it is a useful feature, to the extent that Twitter is in the process of adapting it to its own platform.

Currently, ‘Selected Friends’ is only available in Brazil but we will keep you posted once it is rolled out internationally.
