Instagram adds more photo editing tools to Android and iOS

Looks like Instagram wants you to rely more on its native application than other third-party apps with its version 6.0 update. The app is finally bringing more photo editing capabilities, including the ability to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and the like. You would just need to tap on the wrench icon to access these features.

Google joins Instagram, invades more of your digital space

Feel like you need a bit more Google on your social media feeds? Well, the tech behemoth has just joined Instagram. It shows off a video of its recent Rubik’s Cube doodle as its first post. We know Google’s just using the social network as a way to advertise their products but if it keeps things fun and quirky, we’re all for that.

EasyDownloader lets you save Instagram videos and images on Android sans rooting

Android users could only previously save images and videos from Instagram if their smartphone is rooted. Now, a new app called EasyDownloader will help you download the Instagram media without the need to root your phone. Before you download the app though, make sure you have the Instagram app already installed. There’s a bug in the app that won’t let it run if you download EasyDownloader before Instagram.

Once you have it installed, you just activate the download images option and tap on the Instagram icon on the app. You just have to select the three-dot menu at the bottom of each image and select “Copy Share URL.” You will get the notice that the link has been copied to your clipboard but the app has already downloaded the photo if you slide your notifications pane down.

BBC now uses Instagram to disseminate news

BBC is turning to Instagram to disseminate 10-second news clips and they are hoping to get follower feedback from the new project they dubbed as #Instafax. There are so far two Instafax clips mixed in with over 200 posts from the news service’s account.

BBC is following in the footsteps of startup NowThis News and other tech sites who use Instagram videos to help present information in a different way and reach out to people.
