Instagram expands on the already existing set of features by enabling users to create libraries of posts that can be shared with friends. Instagram announces via Twitter You can now save content to Collaborative Collections, which you and your friends can view and contribute to.
In 2017, Instagram introduced a Pinterest-like Collections tool that allows users to save and rate posts. This feature adds a twist by enabling your friends to upload their own posts. You and your friends can save posts from your Instagram feed, Explore page and even Direct Messages, according to Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, on his IG updates channel.
To take advantage of the feature, tap the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner of the post you want to save, choose the option to start a new collaborative group, give it a name, and then turn on the option that reads Allow Friends to Join This Group. You can add up to 250 people to your group.
According to Instagram, users may also choose to create a collaborative group chat. Then everyone in the chat will be able to add or remove photos from the shared group, and it seems like a fun way to exchange fun posts or brainstorm with those you love.
However, keep in mind that for private accounts that add a post to a collaborative group, only those who follow the account can access it. Instagram also states that the post will be removed from your group if the creator decides to delete the post. It should be noted that once a collaborative group has been formed, it cannot be made private. Likewise, once a private group is created, it cannot be shared with others.
