Alongside a redesign of its website, today Yahoo released a new version of Flickr on Android. The update is available now in Google Play, and it features a photo-centric design that matches the new web layout and iOS app.

“With smartphones in our pockets at all times, we’re all photographers on a daily basis,” said Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. “That’s why we’re also excited to launch new version of the Flickr app for Android phones and tablets. Similar to the iPhone app we launched in December, the new Flickr for Android maintains your photos’ original quality, so every image you take, edit, share, or view on your phone or tablet looks spectacular.”

You can view, upload, and share images directly within the app. Check it out now in Google Play.
