All social networks are now visible on one screen and the photo you are about to upload is blurred in the background, allowing for a better overview of the tagging bubbles.

When uploading a photo, tap on the green location bubble to select your location. What you see now is not only a list of the locations around you, but also a classification of these locations. You see Japanese Restaurants, Cafés, Supermarkets, Tech Startups… it’s a great help to properly tag where your photo was taken!

In addition to that we added suggested users: these are users we recommend following and the list will be constantly updated. Who knows, you might be in there soon!
