FB Launches Facebook Camera An Instagram-Style Photo Filtering, Sharing, Viewing iOS App
Facebook is dead serious about mobile. Today it begins rolling out Facebook Camera for iOS to English-speaking countries, a standalone photos app where you can shoot, filter, and share single or sets of photos and scroll through a feed of photos uploaded to Facebook by your friends. Developed by Facebook's photos team without the help of Instagram because the acquisition deal hasn't closed yet, Facebook Camera looks a lot like the app TechCrunch leaked images of a year ago, and is designed for quicker publishing than Facebook's multi-featured primary mobile app.Facebook Camera lets you rapidly pick one or more photos, apply filters, tag friends and locations, add a description, and post.While its 14 filters, batch uploads, and streamlined interface are a big step up from Facebook for iOS, the design isn't as beautiful as Instagram and neither are the photos you'll see in it. When asked if Facebook Camera would become a direct competitor to the photosharing network it bought last month, a spokesman told me "As Mark asserted, we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently, so I anticipate some healthy competition."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/mcQrU07s23g/
