✔ Pros:

- Separate app for close friends messaging can help with data usage

- Themes feature is a good idea

- Directly sends snaps to close friends story, which can make users value and use their close friends story more

☹ Cons:

- App crashes when clicking on linked Instagram posts in stories

- No voice messages feature

- Cannot mute videos from within the app

- Functions available in the regular Instagram app, making Threads redundant

- Limited and inconvenient features

- No option to send anything to main story

- Feels like a basic and poorly thought out concept

Okay, but, why?

By Tifynee123 (Pcmac user)

the app is a lot like Facebook Messenger, but without the games. You can messsage people and send pictures. These functions are available in the regular Instagram app, though, so what’s the point of the app? There are also no filters. So the camera can get really boring really quickly if, like me, you don’t have much to send. I like the idea of themes, but the options currently available are very limited, and there isn’t a “custom” option. I don’t get what the point of this app is, but it just launched. Maybe after a few updates the purpose of the app will become evident.
who’s going to use this?

Unless you’re always updating your close friends list, or maybe wanna post something a little scandalous you don’t want your mom seeing, everything the app is, is built into Instagram to begin with, and that’s where I see the app failing to take off. People want everything under one umbrella. So far Instagram has every major aspect of a successful social media app, and trying to off load the sharing aspect of social media to a whole separate app is just a bad idea. The camera sends whatever you snap directly to your close friends story, so you there’s no way to send anything to your main story. The whole point of this app is the close friends list. However, if for the very specific reason that you only want your close friends in one inbox, you’re going to love it, and it might make you value and use your close friends story.
What’s the point of this app?

By LittleRed727 (Pcmac user)

It honestly feels like Instagram/Facebook is running out of ideas. This app is literally Instagram DMs with 1 or 2 new features that no one really cares about. The app feels way too basic because it is extremely limited and inconvenient, especially since most of the features already exists in the Instagram app. Why should I switch apps just to talk to the same people about the same things on an identical platform? I feel like the concept for the app wasn’t thought out very well. It just creates more inconvenience for the user in the end. Hopefully a lot more features and diverse functionality get added to the app to make it actually stand out from Instagram DMs.
ok, i’m listening

i was expecting to hate the app when i first heard it was being released. like: what’s the point of it, yknow? but now that ive downloaded it i’m actually Really liking it. theres a lot of room for improvement but it’s a good start and i think i’ll be sticking around!! (i also think this is really going to ease up my data usage, because its in a whole separate app) bugs/needed improvements: • if someone has linked an instagram post in their story and you click on it, it crashes the app • voice messages should be added, like they are in the insta app • you cant mute videos from in the app.. feel like this is kinda an essential for posting stories • statuses are pretty useless as of now.. unless all your close friends have the app too then theres literally no point to them.. they just seem a little silly as of now (‘: ITS A GOOD START Y’ALL,!!
