Instagram adapts to the screen of the new iPhone 5
The photographic filter social network doesn't want to miss the premiere of the new iPhone 5 That's why the people of Instagram have released a new update for Apple devices, thus ensuring their continuity in the new generation of smartphone par excellence and all those gadgets updated to the latest version of the operating system iOS 6However, there are other novelties that not all users will like, and that is that to take a step forward he had to give one back
Thus, we come across version 3.1.0 where the main novelty is the restructuring of the contents of the application to complete the additional screen space offered by the iPhone 5 We remind you that this device now includes a screen that It reaches four inches, stretching higher than previous versions. This produces two black spaces at the top and bottom of the screen when using apps that are not tailored. To avoid that, Instagram has changed its format, making the most of this space.
In addition, being able to work on an iPhone 5 means supporting the new version of the operating system of Apple, on iOS 6, so all those users who have updated their devices, be iPhone old or iPad, you can continue using Instagramin them.A basic step to ensure the continuity of this filter tool in the next generations of Apple phones and tabletsBut, as we mentioned, not everything is new in this update.
Thus, we see that, precisely with an iPhone 5, we can no longer apply the filters and retouching in real time and prior to taking the snapshot An issue that was present on this platform since version 2.0 of Instagram, published a year ago. With it we could focus and frame while alternating between one filter and the other to know how the snapshot would look before capturing. However, filters can now only be applied after the photo is taken
A change not too drastic but that may not please everyone, even more so when you have been able to enjoy this function for a while .From the Instagram support page it is stated that this change is due to the adaptation of this application to the iPhone 5 In addition, they indicate that until all users cannot count on this function, when the application is fully adapted, will not be reintroduced Hopefully, soon, Android users will also be able tochoose the filter before taking a photo, even without an expected date.
In short, a mandatory update for one of the most famous applications. And it is that adapting quickly to the new terminals is a vital issue to avoid the loss of users The point negative is the loss of the commented function, although this does not diminish the potential of the application. version 3.1.0 of Instagram for iPhone is now fully downloadable free from theApp Store
