【confessions: eroticism in media】

Instagram's "Close Friends" feature changed the game in a lot of ways. You no longer require finstas to share the more random and confessions: eroticism in mediapersonal content you'd only want select people to see. You can post Stories for just this list, rendering some of the pressures of Instagram obsolete.

Now, Instagram is elevating the existing Close Friends feature, thanks to a handy new update. The app announced that people can share posts with just those on their CF list. Whether it's a Reel or a photo dump, you have the option to share content on your feed that only some will get to see.
