Instagram, the Meta-owned social media platform, is adding another private feature to its update list extending an opportunity “Close Friends on Live” to its users. This will allow creators to live stream on Instagram only with their close circle. The feature suggests to maximum go up to three other people in a live stream.
Instagram has been on a mission to privatise things lately to impress its customers with all its new features. This new function aids its users to share ideas with close people, have virtual meetings, and plan things as secretly as they can. People live-streamed on Instagram when it was launched in 2016, as it can be viewed by anyone who follows the creator and even joins the “Live” getting permission from that person.

The feature would extensively benefit creators, celebrities and influencers to talk to their favourite circle without worrying about people who may comment on their appearance and style. This update will reduce the prying eyes, confronting the issue of ongoing concerns about trolls, opinions and memes.
The “Go Live” feature now exclusively allows users to be intimate. The feature is expected to give more consideration to private online chit-chats. Instagram updates its user profiles giving the option to make grid posts visible only to close friends in lieu of a total number of followers in November.

After this update, users were allowed to mute every interaction such as comments, messages, and mentions except their close friends list in May. An update called “note” was also introduced at the end of 2023 as an option to keep in contact with your nearest friends through texts and emojis which is at the top of ‘friends’ inboxes and lasts up to 24 hours. Now, this new Private Live feature will broaden the secluded use and go further to bring a safe and secure online experience to its users.
Instagram was founded by American computer programmer and entrepreneur Kevin Synstrom along with Mike Krieger and sold to Meta Platform (then Facebook ) for $1 billion in 2012. Instagram is currently one of the favourite social media platforms in terms of active users and its viable functionalities.
