Imgur rolls out Millennial-friendly updates

Popular image hosting site Imgur has rolled out a slew of updates aimed at keeping its millennial, largely mobile audiences happy.

Say cheese

Imgur's iOS and Android apps now let snap-happy users employ 3D Touch and Spotlight search to find the right picture. 

Both apps now feature landscape mode and new hand gestures. For example, images can be up-voted by double-tapping.

Imjur for iPad has also been overhauled to run more smoothly.

Image is everything

Imgur now hosts over 1 billion posts a week, with more than 50% of interactions occurring on mobile.

The average Imgur mobile user opens the app three times a day and spends four hours a week browsing through the site's trove of images, memes and GIFs.
