Instagram brings 3D Touch-like functionality to Android

by Add Comment

When Apple introduced its new iPhone lineup this past September one of the stand-out features was a display technology called ‘3D Touch.’

Designed to make touchscreen displays more valuable in terms of user interaction through pressure sensitive displays, the software/hardware hybrid functionality allows developers to make more rich interactions for their applications.

With the exception of the Huawei Mate S, Apple’s 6s and 6s Plus smartphones are the only devices to possess these touch-sensitive displays.

One of the first developers to take advantage of the new technology was Instagram, who brought 3D Touch capabilities to its iOS app in November 2015. Now, after a few months of trying it out on iOS, Instagram has brought it to Android with an update that effectively replicates the functionality without the actual display tech.

Now, Apple wasn’t the first company to release a feature like this – not by a longshot – but with Apple’s ubiquity and comparatively un-fragmented platform, it’s easy to see why a company like Facebook is working on implementing Live Photos support in its iOS app.

Instagram Releases Layout, an App Dedicated to Creating Collages

by Add Comment

Several third-party apps have been built in recent years in order to accommodate Instagrammers’ growing desire for grid collages and other forms of combined photos.

Hoping to offer its users an advanced yet simple solution, while eliminating the competition, Instagram decided to launch Layout as a standalone app.

The main advantage of the app seems to be that it presents you with several configurations based on the photos you selected from your camera roll, rather than having you choose a grid beforehand.
