Instagram is attempting to reign in the Explore tab’s chaos by organizing the videos into topic-specific sections.
The photo-sharing app claims that video viewing has jumped 150 percent on the platform in the last six months. So in an update releasing today, Instagram is rolling out a new section called “Picked for You” that combines the type of videos you might want to watch into collections.
