How to share notes with one person on Instagram

Instagram offers a feature called Close Friends, which allows you to share your content with a specific group of people. This feature is mainly used for sharing stories with only your closest friends and family.

However, Instagram has extended this feature to include Notes as well. This means you can now share your Instagram notes with selected people that you add to your Close Friends list, including just one person.

To share your Instagram notes with only one person, you need to add that person to your Close Friends list. Below we have divided this whole process into two parts and shared a detailed step-by-step guide for each:

Part 1: Add the person to your Close Friends on Instagram

The first thing you need to do is adding the person to your Close Friends list on Instagram. This feature is available in your profile menu. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Open Instagram and go to your profile.
Tap the three horizontal lines at the top-right corner.
From the pop-up menu, select “Close friends“.
Now search for the person you want to add to your Close Friends list.
Once you find the person you want to add, tap on their name to select. Make sure that you have selected only one person. If there are other people in the list, remove them.
Finally, tap the “Done” button to confirm your selection. You have now successfully created your Close friends list with only that one person with whom you want to share your Instagram notes.

Part 2: Share your Instagram Note with Close Friends

Instagram provides with you two options for sharing a note. By default, the sharing option is set to “Followers you follow back.” This means that anyone who follows you and whom you also follow can see your notes.

There is also another sharing option available named Close friends. This will allow you to share your Instagram notes with only selected people you have added to your Close friends list.

After completing the first part, the next thing to do is select Close friends option while sharing your Instagram note. This way, the note will be hidden from everyone except for that one person. Here’s a step-by-step guide –

Open the Instagram app.
Tap the messenger icon in the upper-right corner and go to the Direct Message (DM) page.
Tap on “Your note” option at the top. It will have your profile picture on it.
Now type in or paste the note you want to share with one person.
Click on “Shared with” option at the bottom.
Select Close Friends and tap the Done option.
Finally, tap on Share option in the top-right corner. And that’s it! You’ve successfully shared your Instagram note with only one person.

Make sure the person you’re sharing the note with is following you on Instagram, or else they won’t be able to see the note.
