Instagram revamps Explore with personalised video content

Following a backlash against the decision to switch to an algorithm-based feed, Instagram has made changes to its 'Explore' page. The new Explore page will host video channels that will showcase a mixture of personalised content and curated channels in an effort to expand its platform to accommodate for the rising popularity of mobile video viewing. However, the update is only available for Android and iOS users in the US.

Instagram has taken steps to showcase the best videos hosted on the platform to its users, without cluttering up their main feed, by syphoning off such content into a suite of new channels hosted on a revamped Explore page.

From here members will be presented with personally recommended content, in addition to curated channels, designed to throw a spotlight on specific sectors such as specific content creators.
