Instagram has launched a new feature that allows Instagram stories to be shared with a list of close friends only, following the success of Stories in Instagram.

An Entagram user can add people to the list of close friends and share stories with this group only, according to the Arab Technology News Portal.

Users can add people to the list of close friends by going to the profile and clicking on close friends in the side menu, but no one but the user can see the list of close friends.

If someone adds you to a list of close friends, you'll see a green sign while watching their stories, and you'll see a green circle around their profile photo in the story box.

The Stories feature at Instagram uses more than 400 million active users a day.
