With more than 70 million photos and videos posted to Instagram every day, wherever something is happening, chances are you can see it on there; people are capturing moments large and small on Instagram. However, until now, it’s been quite difficult to find these moments.
Instagram has announced two major updates that will help connect the community to the world as it happens: the all-new Explore page, with trending Tags and Places, and more powerful search that makes it easier to find the people, places, and tags you’re looking for.
Explore
Instagram have redesigned the Explore page to make discovery on Instagram immediate and effortless. The new Explore now highlights trends as they emerge in real-time, connecting you to events and conversations both near you and around the globe.
Through trending Tags and trending Places, you can experience moments from every perspective. Rich visual content captures everyone’s unique take — not just what the community is talking about, but also what they’re doing and seeing.
In addition, at the top of the Explore page you will find new curated collections that will be updated regularly, featuring interesting accounts and places, from musicians and extreme athletes to stunning architecture and gorgeous beaches.
At the moment, unfortunately, these updates to Explore will only be available in the United States. However Instagram have assured that they are working on bringing it to the rest of the world after fine tuning the experience and setting it up to work well in other countries.
Improved Search
For everyone on Instagram, they have dramatically improved the ability to find what you’re looking for. With the new Places Search, you can now peer in at just about any location on earth, allowing you to scout out your next holiday destination, get a look inside that new restaurant or experience your favourite music festival — even if you couldn’t make it this year. The new Top Search also lets you search across people, places and tags all at once.
We think that instagram is certainly one of the most exciting social networks out there at the moment and is definitely one to explore if you want to take your dental practice’s social media accounts to the next level.
