Instagram has made improvements on its search function, making it easier to find people, pictures, and videos that users are interested in. 

 

One of the key features is “places search” that allows users to check any location to see what content people are posting from there at specific time. There’s also “top search” that allows users to search across people, places, and tags all in a single box. 

 

With search function being notoriously clunky, this update, which is available on Instagram’s version 7.0, is certainly welcomed by millions of users across the globe.  

 

Other feature to look out for is the new “explore” section that can be used to surface trending hashtags, places, and featured collections of content selected by Instagram’s editorial team.
