Get notified when your favorite Instagram users post photos

In its latest update, Instagram added two new editing tools — but what it failed to mention was an ability to get notified when your favorite Instagram users post photos.

Perhaps the new Post Notification feature shows that Instagram has an eye toward the end of the month when the Apple Watch will be found sending alerts to the wrists of the Apple faithful everywhere, but it’s still a useful feature on your phone.

To get push notifications for someone you follow on Instagram, open his or her profile page and then tap the triple-dot button in the upper-right corner. Then from the menu, tap Turn on Post Notifications. Now, when that person posts a photo, you’ll be among the first to know.
