Instagram’s Send a Preview feature has been spotted again. It allows creators to share a preview of a Reel with friends before posting via Direct Messages, which also generates a draft. Unlike a published post, previews can’t be commented on or reshared.

Why It Matters: Creators can now get private gut-checks from trusted collaborators without posting their content. Built directly into Instagram, it makes feedback seamless and could streamline the review process for collaborations and sponsored content.

This is part of Instagram’s broader push to support common workflows for creators directly in the app. Another example is Shared Access, which lets users invite up to three people to help manage their account without sharing passwords. Collaborators can post content, respond to comments, and handle other account tasks.
