Instagram users in
select countries will now be able to search the platform using keywords and no
hashtags are required.
The Facebook-owned company said the keyword
search feature will initially be available in English in six countries,
including the UK, the US, Ireland and Canada.
"The search
is limited to general interest topics and keywords that are within Instagram's
community guidelines," the company was quoted as saying in media reports
on Tuesday.
Instagram
also announced to expand Guides to everyone -- to make it easier to find,
curate and share the products, places and posts people love from their
favourite accounts.
The users can find
Guides on Profile, and share them across Stories and in direct messages (DMs).
"Product
Guides may be featured in Instagram Shop, our new shopping destination within
the Instagram app, so you can discover new products from people you may not
already follow," the company announced.
Facebook last week
announced two big changes to Instagram in the form of a Reels tab and a Shop
tab.
The Reels tab will
make it easier for people to discover short, fun videos from creators all over
the world. With Reels, one can record and edit 15-second multi-clip videos with
audio, effects and new creative tools.
The Shop tab will
give them a better way to connect with brands and creators and discover
products they love.
