Popular Social media network Instagram is testing a new feature which will allow users to follow hashtags. A small fraction of users has been provided this service to test its working. This new feature was spotted by @Social_pip, who then shared a screenshot about this.

This new function will help users to see the content about the topic they are interested in. Currently, Instagram only allows its users to follow people. This new feature will change the way we use Instagram and it will be like the popular micro-blogging site Twitter. However, the feed of your account will not change much as it will only show the popular and recent posts.
Instagram hasn’t reported anything official about this and it seems to be limited to very few accounts currently.
