Instagram is back innovating by introducing its new feature called Co-watching. Through Co-Watching, friends in video chat can see posts that have been liked and saved.

In its official blog, Instagram said that the launch of Co-watching was accelerated as social distancing was implemented in many countries.

We decided to provide it soon so we could offer more ways for people to gather now, wrote an Instagram spokeswoman.

Supporting Social Distancing, Instagram Launches Co-Watching

Previously, the Instagram Co-watching feature test was first revealed in April 2019 by one of the Instagram researchers, Jane Manchun Wong.

But at that time, he could not be sure when the launch of this feature. Currently, the Co-watching feature is available for global users, except in the United States. The Co-watching feature can be accessed by anyone who participates in video chat on Instagram.

To use the Co-watching feature, users only need to tap on the video camera icon located in the upper right corner of Direct Message. After the user enters video chat, a photo icon will appear in the lower left corner of the screen to access the Co-sharing feature.

Furthermore, he can choose from Instagram photos and videos he likes and bookmarks, as well as suggested posts to share with groups that are video chatting.
