Instagram’s trying to make it easier to find nearby businesses - The Verge

Instagram has introduced an updated map that lets you browse through nearby businesses on a map and search for restaurants, parks, cafes, or other specific types of locations.

Instagram’s latest update aims to make it easier for users to find local businesses or attractions by adding a searchable map that lets you “discover popular local businesses near you,” according to an Instagram Story from Mark Zuckerberg. The map will show you a list of places nearby and will let you see posts about a certain place or see only certain types of business.

There are a few ways to get to the map — if someone tags a place in a post or story, you can tap on the tag and hit “see location” to get to the location’s page. If you move around on the map, you’ll then be able to search the area to see what’s nearby.
