Finally now Instagram allows you to edit your photo captions

A recent update to Instagram makes it possible to easily correct mistakes in your photo or video captions. Now you can finally go back and fix all the typos in your Instagram captions. Yipiiiii....!!

Well, Nothing is worse than taking the time to write the perfect caption for your  Instagram post and when you finally hit the Share button you see a frustrating typo.

Before the update you had two options - embrace the mistake, or delete the post and try again. That seems awkward right, especially if you have spend a lot of work into tweaking and applying a filter to look awesome.

But on Monday Instagram made an announcement that they are releasing an update to both the iOS and Android version of its app, making it possible to edit captions for the first time. Cool Aaah..!

Editing a caption after submission is incredibly easy and sure to save you some work.

"This has been one of the top requests that we’ve heard from the community, and we’re excited to finally bring it to you today," Instagram wrote in a blog post.


Well here is how to do it..

After submitting a photo and discovering an embarrassing typo, just tap on the three-dot action button just under the photo or video in your timeline.

Select Edit from the list of options.

Correct yourself and tap done when finished.


Here is the Instagram Announcement of the new update

Discovery and Caption Editing on Instagram

Today, we’re pleased to announce a bundle of updates and improvements designed to help you discover more on Instagram.

In this update, we’re continuing to improve the Explore page on Instagram by making it faster to find people you want to follow. With this in mind, you’ll see that the Explore icon at the bottom of your screen has changed to a magnifying glass. When you open Explore, you’ll now see two tabs: Photos and People. The Photos tab has not changed. It contains the same scrolling grid of photos and videos you already know. The new People tab highlights interesting accounts for you to discover.

In addition to the updates to Explore, we’ve added the ability to go back and edit captions on your posts. When you share a moment to Instagram, a typo shouldn’t get in the way. This has been one of the top requests that we’ve heard from the community, and we’re excited to finally bring it to you today. You’ll find a new “Edit” option in the menu beneath your image. Tap it to edit your caption.
