The developers at Instagram seem to be working really hard, Instagram for Android has now got its second update rolled out within 48 Hrs. of its release. The update 1.02 addresses multiple issues that includes a fix for images being displayed too small, ‘file not found’ errors while trying to import photos from gallery, search fixes for HTC devices, and camera incompatibility and crash related issues. For most of us who have already downloaded the app can apply the update it via the Google Play Store for our smartphones and devices. If you face issues while updating, I would suggest a full reinstall of the application. Folks who have not yet tried or experienced Instagram for Android yet should surely give it a try and be a part of the photo-sharing buzz. If you have already updated the app, please share your feedback with us.

The good news is in guys, Instagram for Android is now available for download from the Google Play Store. It had been a while since the pre-registration page for the app came up at the company’s website to register for app related info and its release date. The idea for Instagram for Android was originally talked about at SXSW at Austin this year. The development team at Instagram has made its best endeavor to provide rich, easy, and simple photo sharing at the push of a button. The app interface is quite similar to the iOS app for Apple products and uses almost all filters, borders and more to provide users with an equal experience across the Android and iOS platforms.

Since this the first release for Instagram for Android, it does not have Tilt Shift/Blur, Share from Feed, Live Preview and Share to Flickr features as of yet, but they should hopefully arrive soon to bridge minor platform differences.

What are you waiting for? Try out the app and experience instant photo sharing at its best and flaunt your photos to major social networks like Facebook, Foursqaure, Twitter, Tumblr and more. If you love photo editing, try out some customs filters, borders, Lux editing feature and more for your photos.

Instagram already awaits 430K+ users from its waiting list to use the Android app and add to its existing user base of 30+ million registered users. Be a part of the photo sharing evolution today and enjoy. The app is compatible with devices running Android 2.2 or higher. The Instagram network is gonna get a big blast with Android folks filling up fast, lets see how it goes ! If you’ve liked the app, please share your feedback and experience with us. 🙂

Instagram, an app that has made instant photo sharing just a touch away and still continues to spread the smiles for Apple iOS users is finally making its way for Android. The app works great on the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad, providing rich and intuitive features and sharing options across multiple social networks. We have seen constant development and evolution for the app over the time that include the introduction to the new Instagram interface design, #hastags, live filters, instant tilt shift, high-resolution images and more. A very effective medium for digitized photo-sharing revolution on the go, a hub where millions of photos are relished and seen each day. It would be exciting to see the kind of volume and thrill the platform would experience when it arrives Android, as the numbers of users on Android are twice more than the ones over iOS. Instagram has come up with a registration page, to update users on the latest tweaks and info for their upcoming treat to the Android arena. We don’t have any confirmation on when the application would be out, once you register all the updates drop straight away to your inbox. You won’t have to go through a long sign-up page or anything of that type, just enter your email and you’re done.
