The functionality discussed herein refers to content shared on a specific social media platform, visible only to a select group of designated individuals. Users curate this group, granting them exclusive access to stories and posts not intended for a wider audience. For instance, a user might share a spontaneous, less polished update with this inner circle, content they would not publish to their broader follower base.
This practice allows for more authentic and intimate communication. Benefits include fostering deeper connections with close friends, sharing content without the pressure of wider public scrutiny, and maintaining a sense of privacy within the platform. Historically, social media interactions have evolved towards both broad public broadcasting and more controlled, private sharing; this feature reflects that trend toward granular control over audience.
