Product design question

How do you improve Instagram's share feature?

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Product sense on a narrow, well defined feature, and the ability to find friction in a single flow.

Define scope: sharing a post to Stories, DM, or an external app.
Map the current flow and pain points: too many taps to reach a specific friend, no context added automatically.
Segment by use case: sharing to a close friend via DM versus broadcasting to Stories.
Prioritize the DM share to friend flow since it is the most frequent action.
Propose smart suggested recipients based on recent interactions plus one tap reaction stickers on shared content.
Define success as shares completed per session and fewer taps to complete a share.

Picks one sub flow, DM sharing, rather than trying to fix all sharing at once.
Uses a concrete friction metric, for example assuming average taps drop from 4 to 2.
Adds a lightweight reaction sticker to make sharing feel conversational.
Considers spam risk from over suggesting recipients or over automating shares.

Treating share as one undifferentiated feature instead of picking a specific surface.
Suggesting features Instagram already has, like Story reshares, without acknowledging that.
