Close Friends Auto-adder

Last updated on Apr 22, 2025

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

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

Why It Matters

The Close Friends green circle grabs attention. People are more likely to view, reply to, and engage with these types of Stories. Why? Well, if the content feels exclusive, it will naturally boost the engagement.

How It Works

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

  • We keep that list fresh by adding every newly obtained follower to the list as well

  • When you post a Story for Close Friends only, they’ll see it in that attention-grabbing green ring

Setting It Up

  • Head to the Dynamics Page

  • Toggle Close Friends Auto-Adder ON

  • Enable Auto-Remove if you need to remove followers from your Close Friends list

  • Pause Auto-Adder if you want to stop adding followers to your Close Friends list

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 mix and match 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 already added manually, just the users Flock Social added for you.

Is this feature available on all plans? Unfortunately, no. This feature is available on our highest tier plan only.
