Instagram Introduces “Flipside” Alternative Profile Option
Instagram has released its new “Flipside” alternative profile option to a select group of users, aiming to cater to the growing trend of private sharing. The Flipside feature allows users to create a separate profile space accessible only to themselves and their chosen connections. This alternative profile can be used as the audience for posts, ensuring that they remain exclusive to that space. Users can also visit and view their Flipside as an alternative profile gallery, where they have the option to add a new profile name and picture. Instagram’s introduction of Flipside is another step towards encouraging more private interactions and smaller engagement communities, following the significant shift towards this trend in social apps. While it is not yet available to all users in all regions, Instagram will be monitoring its progress closely.
