Instagram just dropped a new update to their mobile app. Instagram for iOS version 6.2 is available in Apples App Store, and Instagram for Android version 6.1 is available on Google Play.
New Features
The goal of the new release is to give the user more control over posts and make it easier to find content.
Caption-editing
After posting an image you can now go back and change it. This means you can fix any typos or add that witty caption after the fact. You’ll find a new “Edit” option in the menu beneath each of your images. Tap it to modify a caption.
People tab
From the Explore page you can now find new people. This makes it easy discover other users and to help people with similar interests find you. Just tap the explore icon at the bottom of the screen (now shaped like a magnifying glass). When you open Explore, you’ll now see two tabs: Photos and People. The Photos tab is unchanged, you can still view photos and video. The new People tab highlights interesting accounts picked by Instagram based on your interests.
Improved search.
The under the hood search algorithm has been tweaked to make it faster and easier to find things. You’ll also start to see dynamic search results as you enter a search term (much like how google search works).

Terrific! Thanks for letting me know about those updates.
That explains it! I thought I missed these features when I saw them the other day. I said to a friend did you know you can edit your Instagram post? He didn’t know either.
What I hope they would change soon is their location service. If, for example, I take a picture at a location A and the next day I travel to another location B which is pretty far away from A, when I then want to post that picture I took at A and want to add it to the Map, Instagram doesn’t find that location anymore. It jus shows locations nearby.
If I’m not mistaken, with older versions of Instagram, it would read the exif location data correctly.
