The importance of privacy in social networks
The importance of privacy in social networks has become increasingly important in recent years.
Users want to be able to control who sees their content, especially when it involves personal or more sensitive information.
Instagram has responded to this and now offers a solution that allows you to subsequently restrict stories that have already been published.
The update is available to all users and is easy to use.
If you notice that a story is incorrectly visible to all followers, you can simply move it to your Close Friends.
This is particularly useful if you only want to share your content with a select group of people.
How to: How to Move Stories to Close Friends
Open your story that you want to move.
Tap the three “More” dots in the corner of your story.
In the menu that pops up you will find the new option “Move to Close Friends”.
Clicking on this option will immediately remove the story from public view and will only be visible to your “Close Friends”.

Quick Fix:
You can quickly fix unwanted public posts.
Increased privacy:
Your content remains protected and only visible to a selected group, and no user can secretly view the Instagram story.
Ease of use:
The feature is intuitive and does not require any complicated steps.
