Instagram brings editing tools (and more of your friends) to the foreground

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it’s worth fewer with a lousy caption — and let’s not even get into hashtags — so Instagram is trying to help users clean things up.

Photo captions and their locations can now be edited after posting, Instagram said Monday. The changes come courtesy of a larger update to the app on both iOS and Android. You can access the tool easily by clicking the “…” in the bottom right of the post, and selecting “edit.” Caption editing has been one of Instagram’s most requested features, the company said.
