Editing a caption once submission is incredibly easy and sure to save you some work.

  • After submitting a photo and discovering an embarrassing typo, tap on the three-dot portion button just under the photo or video in your timeline.
  • Select Edit from the list of options.
  • Correct yourself and tap done when finished.

The update was said to be available for both iOS and Android on Monday. But as of Tuesday morning, only the iOS update actually available. The Play Store listing shows it was updated on November 10, but the updated app isn’t available for download.
