Instagram, the hugely popular photo effects and photo sharing app for the iPhone – has had an update this weekend, to Version 1.5. Here’s what’s new in this latest version:
– The News feed has been totally revamped—watch as the story of your friends on Instagram unfolds
– New Tilt-Shift effect—give your photos depth of field and realistic blur
– Email photos! Choose “Email” as a sharing option when taking a photo, the friends you choose will receive an email with your photo
– Tap and hold a username to @mention them
– You can now add geo locations to photos without naming the location
– Clean up of services list
– Performance improvements in filters
While these additions sound nice (I haven’t installed the update yet) I think Instagram needs to be careful about adding too many bells or whistles, as it seems like a great deal of its appeal stems from how simple an app it is.
Here’s an App Store link for this latest version of Instagram.
