In the year 2017 Instagram introduced an innovative bookmarking feature, dubbed “collections,” which lets users organize the saved posts into private groups for faster access. The feature is now available. Instagram is introducing a brand-new feature that allows users to create collections with friends.
The social network informed TechCrunch by email, that they are launching “collaborative collections,” a means for users to make connections with their friends based on their common interests by adding posts to a shared collection that they can share in their group chat , or a one-on-one DM. That’s right, users can share their posts with a friend or a number of your friends, and then save the posts to an area that is designated for them.
The new feature may be viewed as a means to allow Instagram to compete with Pinterest which has provided the ” Group boards” feature since the year 2018 which allows users to connect with one another on the platform.
