Facebook’s iOS app as well as its photo-sharing platform
Instagram are getting new features today that’s meant to make shutterbugs
really happy.
For starters, the iOS version of the Facebook app is getting
an automatic enhancement feature that will improve the quality of photos
uploaded to the social network. According to a report by TechCrunch whose
sources say the feature will have something like a slider so users can have a
way to control the photo adjustments including clarity, lighting and shadows.
On the other hand, Instagram is also introducing new
features today. Specifically, the app is adding five new filters to its
existing list of predefined photo filters. These include Slumber, Crema,
Ludwig, Aden and Perpetua.
Moreover, the IG app is also adding a “manage” button so
users can rearrange the filters based on their preference. The preview section
of the app is also tweaked a bit with a specific focus on speed by providing
users with a blurred preview of their photo when the filter is applied. This
should, in theory, allow people to see at a glance how their photo will appear
after the filter effect has been applied.
The updated version of the IG app is now available both on
Apple’s App Store and Android’s Google Play.
