We’ve been talking about Instagram for Android for a while. Well yes, it is another update that has popped up from the development team at Instagram. The new version for the app brings a majority of changes, which adds support for Tablets and Wi-Fi only devices, installation of the app over an SD card, and fixes audio mute bug during an image capture. Application install over a memory card seems to be a very big change, most of lack on internal phone storage and might not like to add an app the consumes a lot of space, so with this update you guys can move your app to the SD card and continue enjoying it. The support for tablets and Wi-Fi only devices also brings in a wide spectrum by adding more news users to the Instagram kitty. For folks with an older Android device having Wi-Fi only capabilities can now enjoy photo sharing at ease.
