Reels friend likes

As you can see in the second image, the idea colombia b2b leads here is to encourage engagement, so Instagram has put the reply bar up front on these posts, so you can easily respond to your friend/s in relation to their interaction with that content.
And it does make some sense, in showing you content that both of you may be interested in, and sparking that initial engagement.
But it also seems risky. I mean, what if Instagram shows you that your friend has liked some totally offensive meme, or if it shows your jealous partner that you’ve liked a Reel of another person that seems suspicious?
To be clear, the functionality won’t show your connections everything that you’ve liked in the app, just a selection, and I suspect that IG’s algorithms will be attuned to avoid situations like these, on potentially damaging content.
But it still seems like it could reveal more than some users would like, and for little gain, as I doubt it’s going to spark a heap more engagement.
But Instagram obviously thinks that it’s onto a winner, and in line with its focus on enhancing “Creativity and Connection”, it’s keen to try out new ways to spark that interaction, and get more people being more social in-stream.
