According to Instagram’s developers, the new feature of shared collections allows both you and your friends to view and contribute to a shared library of posts. The new possibility of the social network was announced on Twitter.

How do shared collections work?

To create a shared library of saved posts, you need to click on the bookmark icon in the lower right corner of the post you want to save. Next, you need to select “create a new shared collection” and then give it a name.

Users can then enable the “Allow friends to join this collection” option and add up to 250 contacts. Instagram says users can create collections that are shared in chat, allowing anyone to add or remove images from the library.

Why is it necessary at all?

The shared collections feature can be used as a fun way to brainstorm or share memes with your friends, now all in one place and no need to scroll through chat to search for that funny meme that made you you. He falls to the ground in a fit of laughter. In addition, this innovation will be appreciated by couples and families who have been waiting for such a function for a long time.

Important points to note:

• Users should note that if they add a post to a shared collection from a private account, only those who subscribe to that account will see it.
• A post removed by the author will also be removed from the Instagram collection.
• Users cannot make a shared collection private after it is created, and cannot share private collections they have previously created with others.

The Collections feature on Instagram first became available in 2017 and allows users to save posts and organize them into separate categories. With the updated Shared Collections feature, Instagram builds on an existing tool, making it easy for users to post and communicate with their friends.
