Feel like you can't look at Instagram posts in the Explore section fast enough? Sick of pressing the back button every time you want to return to Explore and browse some more? Soon, there may be an easier way.
As TechCrunch reports, Instagram is testing a new feature that lets you move through posts by simply tapping on the screen, just like you already navigate through Stories.
This new feature may be a welcome change for those suffering from thumb fatigue from scrolling and tapping their way through Explore all the time. Instagram did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment but confirmed to TechCrunch it's currently testing this feature within the Explore section.
"We're always testing ways to improve the experience on Instagram and bring you closer to the people and things you love," the Facebook-owned social network reportedly said. Instagram told the news outlet it's not considering this feature for the main feed at the moment.

Meanwhile, Instagram also this week started using machine learning technology to combat bullying. The company said the technology can proactively detect bullying in photos and captions. Posts flagged by the technology are sent to Instagram's human moderators for review.
"This change will help us identify and remove significantly more bullying — and it's a crucial next step since many people who experience or observe bullying don't report it," Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri wrote. "It will also help us protect our youngest community members since teens experience higher rates of bullying online than others."
