A woman has been left in shock after discovering Instagram’s ‘close friends’ feature is being used as an X-rated dating tool.
Jac, who expressed her outrage to TikTok under “Jacquieeslife” on the platform, said she had no idea the safety feature was being used to attract partners.
“I can’t imagine using close friends on Instagram to solicit a booty call,” said the 28-year-old from Las Angeles.

Before explaining, her own list includes “people she would have birthday brunch with.”
The friends only feature allows Instagram users to choose exactly who can see certain posts.
It wasn’t until she saw that a friend had over 300 contacts on their list that she realized it could be for something else.
“She told me that good friends are really just for connecting,” she said.
Days later, Jac saw her friend’s “close friends” in action — after a photo of them was posted to the feed at a concert.
Within moments, her boyfriend was getting messages from six different guys asking if she wanted to meet up.
“They let her know they were in town,” she said.
Jac questioned other friends about their “close friends.”
Days later, another friend posted photos of Jac and another young woman “building furniture.”
“She wasn’t even in the picture, so I was sure she wouldn’t get any messages,” she said.
But moments later, her friend’s phone lit up.
“Immediately someone sends her a message, ‘Do you want f?’, she said with a laugh.
“The straights arm good friends to have sex and I live for it,” she said.
The young woman’s video has been viewed more than 300,000 times and divided her followers.
Many of them agreed that they used the close friends feature to zoom in on potential partners.
“They don’t know there are other guys in good friends so they think they get special access and they are the only one,” said one woman.
She said her friend added this photo to her close friends and isn’t even in the photo but still gets messages asking if she’s available to hang out
“Putting them on the private story, however, is a subtle move for me,” agreed another.
“It works every time,” boasted a third.
While others had “no idea” it was “a thing”.
“Oh no, that’s where I put all my embarrassing stuff,” said one woman.
And some realized they had been included without even knowing anything about the sexual side of the “close friends” position.
“Is this why so many straight men have randomly added me to their close friends, even though I hardly ever speak to them?” a woman asked.
Others revealed that they would edit their lists of close friends “immediately.”
