Instagram Enables Typo Cleanup With Caption Editing Ability

Instagram announced several changes to its mobile app today, most notably giving users the ability to edit captions. That means people will no longer have to decide between deleting a post or living with a typo.

“This has been one of the top requests that we’ve heard from the community, and we’re excited to finally bring it to you today,” the company wrote in a blog post. “You’ll find a new “Edit” option in the menu beneath your image. Tap it to edit your caption.”

Such editing ability was made available on Facebook Pages last February; now Facebook-owned Instagram is rolling out the feature, which should prove handy for brands and businesses marketing on the network.

Instagram also announced that it has changed the Explore icon to a magnifying glass and has added a People tab to go with already exiting Photo tab within the Explore section. From the announcement: “The Photos tab has not changed. It contains the same scrolling grid of photos and videos you already know. The new People tab highlights interesting accounts for you to discover.”

The update is available today for iOS and Android devices.
