Instagram’s New Search Option Is Getting Attention

Creeping.

Instagram is driving people a bit demented in recent days due to the influx of ‘Turn On Notifications’ posts shared on the social media site.

In case you weren’t aware, Instagram is changing its timeline from chronological to a newsfeed based on engagement.

However, the change hasn’t come into effect yet so the notifications posts are unnecessary, for now anyway.

Aside from all that, Instagram is rolling out a new feature, which is set to improve the search function.

By introducing new search bars, you’ll be able to see who other people are following and look at their followers.

The folks over at Mashable spotted it but it only appears to be accessible for some users at present.

The addition of this specific search function has come as a welcome surprise for many, with some taking it to Twitter to praise the new tool.
