Instagram currently offers the ability to hide stories from specific users. The platform is testing a new feature named “Friend List Stickers”, which allows users to post stories that are only visible to selected groups of friends. The feature was first spotted by Jane Manchun Wong.
However, the report suggests that Instagram will display the following message while using this feature!
“When you place one of these stickers on your story, only the people on that list can see it.”
That message is then followed by a button to generate a list, which allows users to choose people they follow. However, we can assume that multiple lists can be created and, users can select any list from created ones rather than creating a new one every time.
Friend list stickers provide user privacy. However, that might be less convenient for people with a lot of followers. While this feature has only been spotted in testing for now, so there’s a good chance to see in an upcoming app update.
