Instagram has announced the release of a new feature

One of the most popular mobile applications for taking pictures Instagram has recently announced the release of a new feature – “Photos of You”. The feature is going to make it easier to view and be notified of the pictures that user cares about most. In the updated version of the application it will be much easier for users to add mentions of people or things to the uploaded pictures. The new feature will also add a new section on user’s profile – “Photos of You” – where all the tagged photos will be stored.

According to the information provided by creators of the application now users will be able to add people and things in the photos just as easily as they add a location or hashtags. When someone adds another user to a photo the user will immediately receive a notification and the photo will appear in the “Photos of You” section on the profile where it is possible to curate all of the photos the user has been added to. In case if user wants to make sure he likes the picture it is easy to adjust the settings so that nothing would appear on the profile until it is approved.

Photos of You will also provide users with a possibility to explore photos of businesses and brands. People will be able to add pictures of their favorite bands, the clothing brand they are wearing or the coffee roaster that helps them with their morning cup of coffee. And of course the feature will help businesses and brands by giving them the opportunity to share photos that show the brand in the best way – documented by its biggest fans. The feature will be a kind of Beta version until May 16th. Then the “Photos of You” section will become visible on users’ public profiles.

The updated version with the new feature will be available for both – iOS and Android platforms. It is possible now to check out the feature on the examples of a few Instagram employees already using Photos of You.
