Product design question

Improve the "Sharing Post" feature of Instagram.

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

Focused product design on a specific, high-frequency action, balancing friction reduction with content quality and spam risk.

Users: people sharing posts to their own story, direct message, or an external platform, each with different intent.
Pain points: too many taps to share to a specific destination, and unclear feedback on whether the share was seen.
Prioritize: reduce friction for the most common destination, likely direct sharing to a close friend or group via DM.
Solution: a smarter default destination based on past sharing behavior, plus a quick multi-select for frequent recipients.
Guardrail: avoid making it too easy to mass-share in ways that enable spam or coordinated inauthentic sharing.
Success metric: share completion rate, and time from tap to completed share.

Segments sharing by destination and intent, correctly identifying DM sharing as likely the highest-frequency, highest-friction case.
Proposes a specific, buildable fix, smart default recipients based on history, rather than a vague general redesign.
Flags the spam and abuse guardrail explicitly, appropriate given sharing features are a common spam vector.
