You can watch a demo of how the update works right here.

Instagram has added another new feature!
You can now follow a hashtag in the app so you receive all the latest on a specific subject matter.
Once you click on a hashtag, it will show up at the top of the screen, then you can click the follow button just as you would on a profile.
When you follow a hashtag, you can view the top posts from that tag, view the latest stories, and you can also see what hashtags people follow in their profiles.
Earlier this month, Instagram developed a warning system to combat animal abuse.
