If you use the Instagram app frequently, you probably share a lot of posts with your friends via direct messages (DM), and since many people share posts from different accounts with their friends in this way, the Instagram app makes a new feature. They are called collaborative groups.
What is this job? How do you create collaborative groups on Instagram?
1- What are collaborative groups on Instagram?
The company, developer of the Instagram app, launched Collaborative Collections a few days ago, a feature that allows users to save and organize posts in a dedicated space to share them more easily with their friends.
Collaborative Groups is an evolution of the Favorites feature added to the Instagram app in 2017, which allowed users to group saved posts into a group for easy access. The new feature expands on this idea by allowing users to create groups with their friends.
In the Favorites feature, only you can see your saved Instagram posts, but with the Collaborative Groups feature, you can share your saved posts with your friends, and whoever is added to the group can add more posts for you to view. .
Collaborative Groups isn't the only Instagram feature aimed at sharing content with friends. The (Close Friends) feature allows you to share exclusive stories with specific friends, and there is a (Quick Share) feature that makes it easier to message friends by sharing with a group of people you communicate with regularly on Instagram, and give a (quick) link if you want to use this feature , press and hold the share button at the bottom of any post and a popup will appear with avatars of some of the friends you stay in touch with. Swipe from the share button onto your friend's profile picture and the post will be linked to them instantly without any additional steps.
