Instagram’s Explore page and search functionality get redone

Instagram’s update that arrived this afternoon does not bring any sort of overhaul to the user interface but it does include a retake on the Explore page and the app’s search functionality. Instagram made these changes to its app because there are more than 70 million photos and videos shared on its service daily. People want to see what is happening nearby and around the world in real-time. The service now curates content in the Explore page for users.

Immediate and effortless are two words that Instagram used to describe the new Explore page. The app now updates the page automatically, organized by both trending topics, locations, and tags. Selecting any of them cues a wealth of content from the Instagram’s massive user base.

The updated Explore page is only live in the United States, but Instagram will bring it to the rest of the world once the experience is perfected.

For search functionality, the service focused on offering everything in one place — people, places, and tags. There seems to have been a focus on location with the new Places Search. Type in the name of any location and Instagram will send you there on a map with top and recent posts for an rich, authentic experience.
