Instagram is not ready to slowdown as it keeps adding new features almost every week, even though most of the new features has been inspired one way or the other by Snapchat.
The Facebook owned social network has today, added two new features Hashtag and Location Stories to the Explore section.
When you enter the Explore tab, you'll see a Story ring at the top, showcasing Stories that are happening near you. These come from people who have used location stickers. When you search for any location in the world, the Story ring will be there at the top too - with the best Stories happening in that spot.
Hashtag Stories are coming to Explore as well. These will help you easily find Stories that are related to your interests - or any specific hashtag, really.
So when you search for a hashtag, a Story ring might be at the top of the page, filled with Stories that use that hashtag. These are created by people who have used location hashtags in their Stories.
If your Story is shown in such a way, a line at the top of your Stories viewer will tell you how many people saw it. If you want to use location or hashtag stickers but don't want your Story to appear in Explore, just tap the X in your Stories viewer list.
Location Stories in the Explore section will be rolling out with Instagram version 10.22 and should already be available on the iTunes App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for android while the Hashtag Stories should be available in the coming weeks
