Instagram now lets you save posts into collections shared with friends
Instagram is building off of its existing collections feature by allowing you to create libraries of posts that you share with friends. In an announcement on Twitter, Instagram says that you can now save content into “collaborative collections” that both you and your friends can view and contribute to, as first reported by TechCrunch.
While Instagram first rolled out its Pinterest-like collections feature in 2017, which lets you save and organize posts into separate categories, this update puts a spin on things by allowing your friends to add posts of their own. According to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri’s IG Updates channel, you and your friends can save posts from Instagram’s feed, Explore page, and even DMs.

How to make a mood board with your friends on Instagram
It seems that every single thing you like about a social media app will soon also be available on Instagram. Today’s new feature: collaborative collections.
If you’re familiar with a shared board on Pinterest, boy do I have some excellent news for you. On March 28, Instagram officially launched collaborative collections for everyone around the world. It’s a new feature that allows users to save and organize Instagram posts with the help of a follower, friend, lover, enemy, etc. I could see this being useful if you’re working on decorating an apartment and want to make sure you’re on the same page, or you’re creating a mood board together, or, perhaps, planning a fun trip to Portugal. The feature allows you and whoever else you’d like to create a saved collection they can all add to. You can add up to 250 people to your collection but keep in mind: Everyone you add to the collaborative collection also has the power to remove posts.
Here’s how to create a collaborative collection on Instagram:
1. Save a post
Find a post you like and click the save button, a little icon that looks like a bookmark or a flag.

2. Create a collaborative collection
Instagram will prompt you to “save posts with friends” by asking if you’d like to save a post to a collaborative collection. “Anyone in the chat can add or remove posts to the collection,” the prompt informs. If Instagram doesn’t prompt you, click “new collection” to the right of “collections,” and ensure that it’s collaborative by clicking the bar next to the word “collaborative.”

3. Name your collection and add your friends
Now, it’s pretty simple. Name your collection — something like “apartment” or “¯_(ツ)_/¯.” Make sure you click “collaborative” and add the friends you’d like to share it with.

There are other ways to create a collaborative collection on Instagram, like by saving something to a collection if you’ve sent it in a direct message. No matter how you choose to create it, once it’s made, you and your collaborators can add content from feed, explore, reels, or reshares in DMs.
It’s unclear if this will be one of the many new Instagram features that flops or if Pinterest is the next tech giant to get swallowed up by Meta. Either way, I’ll be here with my frogs.

They have both continued with their acting careers and appeared
in the horror flick Us alongside Black Panther stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke.
Speaking about her experiences on set, Cali told Insider: “All of the cast were super nice to us, they treated us all like little princesses and when we had holidays and stuff, they’d give us little Christmas gifts.”
“It’s kind of cool to see something that we were in but can’t really remember, so it’s kind of like the memories are preserved for us,” she added.

PHOEBE’S TRIPLETS
Who can forget Phoebe’s triplet surrogacy storyline in season five.
Lisa Kudrow’s character carried her little brother, Frank Jr. and his wife Alice’s three babies, who were brilliantly named: Leslie, Frank Jr. Jr. and Chandler.
Although the triplets were played by multiple different babies, one major episode cast the quadruplets from the Cimoch family – Alexandria, Cole, Justin and Paul.
Alexandria, a college sophomore, recently took to TikTok to share her former role on the show.
The video has been viewed over 2.6 million times and she captioned it: “Yes… I was on Friends.”
She also disclosed in the video how her brother played a baby girl, a fact they still joke about today.
She hasn’t returned to TV, but seems to have kept up her acting through high school productions.

Now 36, the actor starred in multiple kid’s shows through the 90s and noughties[/caption]
Although it was far from a starring role, a young Tahj Mowry featured in a Friends episode where Phoebe sang to a bunch of kids at the Central Perk.
However, the actor – now 36 – was no stranger to the screen. He starred in a different hit show Full House from 1991-1995.
Post-Friends, he was frequently featured on Disney Channel and kids shows like Kim Impossible. Mowry also had a main role in ABC’s Baby Daddy until 2017.

Approaching the end of Friends, Chandler and Monica buy a house out in the suburbs.
The miserable Joey accompanies them on this venture, where he meets eight-year-old Mackenzie played by Dakota Fanning who helps to console him.
Almost unknown at the time of her Friend’s appearance, Fanning would go on to have huge commercial success in the likes of the Twilight franchise, War Of The Worlds and Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
