Instagram Introduces Close Friends Group Tool
However, the company introduced the limits feature as a test in 2021. It can prove to be quite effective for some stars and others; as for its feature, Once it is turned on, you will only be able to see comments, messages, story replies, tags and other mentions from your ‘close friends ‘group, while conversation from different accounts will be muted.
Now, all users can use this limit, which allows you to restrict your conversations with the people you follow and those you have followed for a long time. The “Close Friends” setting turns this feature on by default. It is mainly used to protect people from buying and harassment. Users can interact with someone not part of the ‘close friends group, but your activities will not appear in the feed.
Apart from this, you can also limit your interaction with the following people. After this, the company can add a “Restricted” feature that will hide all comments from Instagram’s restricted accounts, and they will not be able to tag or mention you. I hope to see it on all devices soon.
