Instagram 3.0 is out: geotagged Photo Maps, UI tweaks, snappiness

Following up on June’s big update, Instagram today pushed out a major new version to its mobile app for iOS and Android, bringing with it a bunch of changes, visual tweaks and interesting new features. The app’s explore tab and the photo upload screen have been re-worked with cleaner layout, the experience feels much snappier and you can now browse geotagged images in an all-new Photo Maps view
In addition to redesigned profile and upload screens, Instagram 3.0 now features infinite scrolling on photo feeds and lets you easily report inappropriate comments as spam.
For example, swiping right over a comment and hitting the “Delete & Report Abuse” button will remove the comment and report it in one fell swoop.
Reporting a user is also a simple affair of hitting the button at the top right corner of their profile page and tapping the “Report for Spam” button.
To report a photo, just tap the “…” button below the photo and then “Report Inappropriate”.
You cannot report comments on other people’s photos, but this feature is being worked on and wil be available in a future release.
Bigger grid photos is now applied throughout the photo viewer, on user profiles, in the Explore tab and on hashtag and location pages.
You can now write and edit longer captions for your photos and the app will automatically load more photos when you scroll to the bottom (you’d previously have to tap a “load more” button).
The biggest new feature is the new Photo Maps view, seen below.
