How to Co-Watch with Someone on Instagram?

To share content and watch together on Instagram:
1. Open the Instagram app on your device. Ensure you’re logged in and have a stable internet connection.
2. Find the content you want to share—this could be a post, reel, or video on your feed, explore page, or a friend’s profile.
3. Tap the paper plane icon below the post or video. This opens the sharing menu.
4. Select ‘Share to…’ or ‘Send to.’ A list of your contacts or friends will appear.
5. Choose the friend(s) you want to watch with. You can search for their names or scroll through your list. For group viewing, select multiple friends if the option allows.
6. Send the shared content. Once your friends receive the notification, they can open the link or content you shared. To watch simultaneously, both of you need to start the video at the same time. Some content supports real-time watching, while others require coordination.
7. During the viewing, you can chat within the app or even start a live video call to discuss the content in real time, making the experience more interactive.
