Facebook has released a new app for the iOS called Facebook Camera. The new app is a standalone app for sharing your photos right from your iPhone in High-Resolution.
Facebook acquired Instagram recently and also announced a dedicated new app for the Facebook Page managers called Facebook Pages Manager for iOS. Following the dedicated app lead, the company has now unveiled a new dedicated app with photo filters and HD uploads.
The users will be able to upload photos of resolutions upto 2048 x 2048, and can edit their pictures with about 15 default filters that are not so impressive. Moreover, you can now bulk upload images in a queue to Facebook right from this app. But we believe that this was not a mere Instagram inspiration, but we already knew that the company was working on a dedicated photo editing app for iOS long before they acquired Instagram.
Here’s the official press release from Facebook:
“See friend’s photos all in one place – When you launch the app, you’ll see a feed of just great photos from the people you care about. You can swipe to see more of any album or tap to enlarge an individual photo.
Share multiple photos fast – Now you can quickly share multiple photos all at once instead of having to post one at a time. Just select the shots you want to share by tapping the check-mark on each photo and then hit post. You’ll have a chance to add a caption, say where you were and tag friends before you share.
It’s also easy to edit photos with new tools like the ability to crop, rotate and add filters to any picture in your camera roll.”
If you are convinced with the app description, just go ahead and try out Facebook Camera for iOS from the app store. There are still no clues that Facebook will bring this app to Android. Here’s a small promo video of Facebook Camera for iOS:
