Despite being acquired by Facebook recently, Instagram just launched a major new upgrade for their popular photo app today, allowing users to plot their images on a map using geolocation, and bringing an all-new way to browse through photos.
From the Instagram Blog:
With every major release, we pick a theme – and for this one we’ve focused on the browsing experience. We’ve introduced a new and unique way to browse your photos and others’ photos on a map, which means you’re no longer constrained to browsing through page after page of photos. We’ve also worked hard on updating all the screens in our app to be more visually consistent and polished.
Instagram 3.0 is available immediately for free from the App Store, and should be a very satisfying update for fans of the app! Release notes can be found below.
