Scrolling through your Instagram feed has, until now, been something you do on your own
However, with more and more people staying away from friends and family to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, Instagram has
rolled out a new feature called Co-Watching to help users feel, well, less isolated.The new feature allows friends on a video chat (even a
group chat) to browse through posts that one of them has 'liked' or 's aved' in their Instagram feed
It even allows participants of the video call to view others' Instagram recommendations.This gives friends and family a way to talk about
different posts on the photo- and video-sharing platform, giving them a way to stay connected.(Image credit: Instagram)How it worksUsing
Co-Watching is real simple: Head to Instagram Direct (the direct messaging feature on the platform) by tapping on the 'paper plane' icon on
camera icon on this direct messaging page
Once you've begun chatting, just tap on the photo icon at the bottom of the pane to view all recently liked, saved and Instagram
recommendations available on your feed.The one you select will appear on the screen for all participants on the video chat.That's not

credible source.Instagram is also expanding the Donation stickers to more countries so users can search for and ask for contributions to
genuine and relevant non-profit organizations.To help connect users practising social distancing, shared Stories will feature a 'Stay Home'
sticker on all posts within the network.It's easy to see how Co-Watching will become popular in the coming days, and these efforts add to
Instagram's Covid-19 prevention initiatives that began about two weeks ago, when the platform started listing posts from credible health
