The function is in a very preliminary stage for now, and Paluzzi extracted the purpose of the new feature from Instagram’s code.

Private Instagram feed for close friends

Currently, Instagram allows you to post Stories, photos, and videos to followers who are included in the “Close Friends” list. But all posts are shuffled into the feed like a regular photo.

With “Your Space,” Instagram will essentially create a special section for such private posts. This way the user will have better control over the content as well as having more customization options. It would almost be like having a secondary profile for those closest to you.

It’s worth remembering that Instagram is also testing the ability to post stories to certain groups of followers. This function is complementary to the “Close Friends” function and does not replace the traditional format.

No release estimate

Instagram’s “Your Space” There is no release date yet, And it will take time to be made public.. However, it is quite possible that the new feature will be offered to some users before being released to everyone.
