Instagram revamps search and discovery features to surface new trends and events

Instagram announced a big update today that will help users find what’s trending on the platform.

The photo sharing platform’s Explore page has been revamped so it shows off trending tags and places. Instagram also now has a series of curated collections, which will feature content from musicians, athletes, and other influencers. The company is also boasting a more powerful search function with a focus on places. Instagram said you’ll now be able to use the platform to “scout out your next vacation spot” or generally search for places you’re interested in.

The latest updates to Explore and Discovery will be rolling out to users in the U.S first. Other countries will be added down the road.
