Instagram is testing a new definition of 'friends'

Instagram is testing out new tweaks that emphasize friends. It also has a new definition of friends: People who mutually follow each other. The Instagram test involves changing a user's "following" count on a profile to a "friends" count. That means if you follow thousands of people, but maybe only a few hundred of those people follow you back, that'll show up as your "friends" count.
