Instagram addicts rejoice, as developers have just delivered a major update for both Android and iOS applications. The changes are similar in both cases and include redesigned features, as well as lots of improvements.

“Today we’re excited to announce two major updates to Instagram that will help connect our 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,” explains Instagram in a blog post.

So, the Explore page has been redesigned to allow users to discover the things they are looking for on Instagram easier to use and effortless.

According to developers, the new Explore page shows trends as they emerge in real-time, which enables the app to connect users to events and conversations both near them and around the globe.

In addition, thanks to the new Tags and trending Places, users will be able to experience moments like #bonnaroo or #fathersday from every perspective.

Improved Search feature for Instagram users

The Search feature has been improved as well, so users can find what they're looking for faster and easier. The new Places Search allows users to take a peek at just about any location on Earth, either to scout a vacation spot in the certain region or get a look inside a new restaurant.

Moreover, the new Top Search ability allows Instagram users to search across people, places and tags all at once.

You can now download Instagram for Android 7.0 for free via Google Play Store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 4.0 and up.

For iOS users, the application is available for download App Store. It should work smoothly on all devices running iOS 7.0 or later.
