Instagram Launches SnapChat And Cool New Features

Instagram just upgraded and the upgrade has the feature of snapchat with short messages and also better ways to make the videos you share with friends look good. This upgrade is available for android version 4.1 and above, and iOS version 4.1 and above. The features are below:

Import Video from Library
Starting today you can upload videos from your phone’s media library and share those moments to Instagram regardless of when they were captured. Once you select the video clip you’d like to import, you can trim it down to the exact part you like best. We’ve also made it so that you can choose how you square-crop your clip so you can keep the action front and center.

Automatic Straightening for iOS There are few things more distracting than a crooked horizon in a photo. We’re happy to announce that we’ve developed a brand new technology that brings you straight photos instantly. When you take a photo with the in-app camera, you can now tap the new Straighten icon and your photo will correct to be level—it’s that simple. The straightening tool also includes a slider so you can rotate and adjust any photo—including ones imported from your photo library—as much or as little as you’d like.
Video on Instagram for Ice Cream Sandwich We’re excited to expand Video on Instagram to people who use Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Since the launch of Video on Instagram this has been the Android community’s number-one request, and we’re excited to see this community grow.

Instagram has been growing faster ever since Facebook bought it for $1bn at a time where it shared only photos with artistic filters, today Instagram shares videos and the snapchat feature is already available.

Instagram is upping their game. Make sure you get the update.
