Few things on Instagram are more embarrassing than a horrific typo right in the middle of your caption, but starting today Instagram is finally going to let sloppy texters like myself go back and edit captions.
The new Instagram 6.2 update was announced by the company this morning and along with giving Grammers the ability to fix their blunders, the app also added some new features to the Explore page as well.
Instagram replaced the Explore icon at the bottom of the app with a magnifying glass now that it’s the go-to place to find people you want to follow faster. The Explore page has been split into two tabs: Photos (which hasn’t changed) and People. Under the new People tab you can now find interesting accounts to follow based on where you’re at and other Instagrammers you’re currently following.
In a blog post covering the new changes, Instagram says the ability to edit captions was one of the top requests it received from the community, and it’s finally rolling out today. To edit a caption, users simply tap the three dots underneath an image to bring up the Edit menu. From there you can change the caption’s text, tag people, or edit/remove the location.
The small update is available now in the App Store and on Google Play.
