On the other hand, sharing posts and stories with friends is the new level of friendship. The only form of communication, most of the friends have these days is laughing at memes they share with one another but sometimes one can get annoyed with the fact that their pal doesn’t follow the same pages as them on Instagram.
To help you out, now Instagram will let you know if your friends actually follow that page or if it’s a private page for them before you hit the send button and slide the meme into their DM.
No more accidentally sharing private posts to your friends in DMs. 🙅♀️
With this new feature out now, you can tell who can or can’t see a private post or story before you hit send. pic.twitter.com/yPqJjpczDd
