In terms of major announcements, they introduced their feed algorithm back in March, their Snapchat-cloning ‘Stories’ feature in August and live-streaming just last month. But in amongst those bigger additions were smaller, yet equally significant, updates and tools. These include the addition of business profiles, the ability to save posts as drafts, comment filtering, zoom, shopping tags, a re-designed color scheme – basically, Instagram has given their platform a major overhaul, greatly expanding the functionality of the app. Today, Instagram has announced that they’ve reached a new milestone of 600 million users.
