[br]San Francisco, April 19: Facebook-owned photo-messaging app Instagram is testing a new feature that would let users co-watch on-platform video content with friends, while being able to see their reactions on the video via the phone cameras.[br][br]The option would start with a split-screen view, where users would be able to apply face filters and other visual tools to their personal camera feeds, Social Media Today reported on Thursday.[br][br]"Instagram's co-watching media picker is essentially tabs of Explore, Saved and Liked. It's somehow also showing me photos though.Unless Instagram designed co-watching so we can stare at an image together, it will be fixed when released," reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong tweeted. [br] The feature would let users watch Instagram videos together with added interactive elements of being able to see and hear their co-viewer in a minimised window.[br]At present, the option appears to only support two concurrent viewers, alongside the Instagram Live functionality. [br][br]

[br][br]"That could be somewhat restrictive, but then again, previous research has shown that 85 per cent of the messages shared on Instagram are distributed to the same three friends, highlighting a desire for more intimate communication on the platform," report added.[br][br]The photo-messaging app's test feature is similar to Facebook's previously launched " Party" feature -- that lets users watch public videos in real time with a group of friends on the app. [br] Since launching Parties in groups last July, Facebook says that it has facilitated more than 12 million " Parties" within Groups alone, while " Parties" also garner 8 times more comments than regular videos in Groups, the report noted.[br]Instagram has not commented on testing or availability of the feature as yet.[br][br]IANS[br][br]
