Stories are powerful. But Close Friends Stories? Even better.

This Flock Social feature helps you skyrocket Story visibility by auto-adding followers to your Instagram Close Friends list.


💚 Why It Matters

That Close Friends green circle grabs attention.

👉 People are more likely to view, reply to, and engage with these Stories. Why? Because the content feels exclusive, which naturally boosts engagement.


⚙️ How It Works

  • Once enabled, Flock auto-adds all of your followers to your Close Friends list (up to 1,000 daily)

  • The list stays fresh by adding every new follower automatically

  • When you post a Story for Close Friends only, they’ll see it highlighted with that green ring


🔧 Setting It Up

  1. Head to the Dynamics Page

  2. Toggle Close Friends Auto-Adder ON

  3. Enable Auto-Remove if you want to clear out users Flock added

  4. Pause Auto-Adder anytime to stop adding followers


❓ Quick FAQs

Will my followers know they were added automatically?
Nope 👌 — Instagram doesn’t notify users when they’re added or removed.

Can I manually manage the list too?
Absolutely ✅ You can combine Flock’s auto-adds with your own Close Friends.

What happens to my original Close Friends list?
It stays exactly how you set it. Auto-removal won’t touch anyone you added manually — only the users Flock added.

Is this feature available on all plans?
