Instagram is now officially supporting multiple accounts setup in the app. Here's how to add your multiple Instagram accounts to iPhone and Android app.
Instagram has added a new offering to its growing suite of mobile apps for iOS and Android devices by releasing a new app called Boomerang. The social network, which is now owned by Facebook after a one billion dollar acquisition back in April 2012, is using the app as a dedicate portal for users to create and share everyday moments as mini looping videos. According to the accompanying blog post, "It's not a photo. It's not a gif. It's a Boomerang." and it's available to download right now for those who need yet another app in their already crowded digital lives.
Sharing images from your Instagram feed with your friends has always been an issue. Instagram makes sharing image URLs possible, though the feature isn't immediately obvious, and we've always wondered whether there is a better way. Turns out there might just be.
Having originally started with a relatively humble photo sharing app, Instagram had morphed into a massive online community even before Facebook bought it, and now it's the place to go if you want to share that cute cat picture, especially if you want to then share that across multiple social networks. The problem with Instagram though, and it's a problem with all social networks, you find yourself checking it far too often, and that starts to get annoying for other people. And we're all guilty of it.
With the weeks and months ticking down until Apple announces the release date for the Apple Watch, developers are already working on getting their apps ready for launch day. Apple made the WatchKit SDK available as part of the new iOS 8.2 betas not that long ago, and while developers are hard at work, the concept makers and design teams are also working to publish their interpretations of what apps may look like come Apple Watch day.
A new hidden menu lets users record 1080p video using Instagram's Hyperlapse app, with more options also opened up for good measure.
Instagram may now be owned by Facebook, but the purchase hasn't stopped the team behind the famed photo-sharing app from developing a series of spin-off utilities. As well as the recent release of the Snapchat-like Bolt, which launched late last month across a few select markets, the Instagram development team has now come through with Hyperlapse, a time-lapse app designed specifically for those in ownership of the Apple iPhone and iPad. Check out the screenshots, details and download link after the break.
As popular as Instagram has been since its arrival and despite its buyout by Facebook, the app and service's biggest feature is also its biggest limitation. Offering a way for people to post square, relatively low resolution photos, Instagram is never going to be home to large, high quality photographs.
If you're an Instagram user, and even if you're not, you'll probably have taken some note of the selfie craze, and as well as enabling users to readily share their selfies with anyone who cares to look, the Instagram app also makes it easy for folks to edit and prime these self-snaps with filters and other effects. One such feature, known as lux, brings a warm feeling to shots, reducing overexposure and, most importantly, making people look prettier. And now, an update to Instagram for iOS bring more control over lux, and full details of what else is inside Instagram 5.0.6 can be seen below.
Facebook owned Instagram is without a doubt one of the most popular apps in the mobile world. Opinion will always be split on the photo editing and sharing network, but it's definitely difficult to recall how we managed to share our photos with the world so quickly and efficiently before the app came along. Regardless of whether you're a hardcore Instagram fan who professes that addiction to all who'll listen, or a closet snapper who uses the app in secret to apply a sepia filter to a photo of your lunch, we all deserve to be running a streamlined version of the app. And thanks to developer krishneelg3, Android users can now get a modified version of Instagram that is as beautiful and functional as Instagram for iOS 7.
