Whether or not you’re a fan of Instagram, there’s no denying its popularity. Its release on Android was quite the spectacle and although it’s been downloaded more than a million times, it hasn’t been without its problems. Thankfully the Instagram team has been hard at work ironing out all the bugs. In fact, their first update to the app came the very same day of the release. Now that’s a timely update. Here we are now on day 3 and Instagram has pushed out yet another update in order to take care of a few more issues users are experiencing with the app. This latest update takes care of:
To say Instagram’s Android launch was successfull would be an understatement. It took less than 24 hours for the photo sharing app to reach 1 million downloads and plenty of controversy. Yesterday’s wild Instagram ride brought random crashes, unsupported cameras, a quick update and unruly elitist iDouches. It was absolute pandemonium, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Congrats to Instagram and we thank you for allowing us poor Android peasants passage through the pristine pastures of exclusive iPhilter photography. Check out the recap of yesterday’s stories after the break.

I couldn’t make this shit up even if I wanted to. Our fine sister site (love you guys!) Cult of Mac came across a whole slew of elitist douchebaggary from iPhone users who aren’t thrilled about having to share their Instagram country club with us “poor,” “ghetto,” Android users. I’m not going to lie, this is the first time I’ve ever heard Android users compared to ghetto poor people. I always thought we were considered “geeks” or “nerdy teenagers,” but “ghetto and poor,” —- that’s a new one. I don’t know about you, but my Galaxy Nexus cost $649.99 — and no, Verizon wouldn’t accept my food stamps as payment. You’re always going to have a few bad apples (see what I did there) in the group and the one’s you’re about to see take the orchard.
How awesome is Instagram for Android? Well, just take a look at the photo above. Instagram may not be stable, but at least you’ll have hipster filters to make every random crash, well… hip! This photo, taken by reader Alan Liddell, is aptly named “functionality,” and shows that not every app launch goes off without a hitch and perhaps Instagram should have spent a little extra time in the dark room filtering its code for Android.
The moment all you hipster filter loving freaks have been waiting for is finally here. That’s right, Instagram has landed in the Google Play Store. This insanely popular social photography app has been exclusive to iOS up until now and has many amateur Android photographers giddy with excitement. Instagram is a fun, free, and easy way to share your photos and features:
