Instagram Adds iPhone 5 Support

[MacRumors]

With the iPhone 5 in the wild for five days now, major apps continue to be updated for the device's larger screen. Today, popular photography app Instagram was updated with iPhone 5 and iOS 6 support. However, as The Next Web points out, Instagram's square photography method doesn't gain much from the iPhone 5's larger screen.

But the capture mode is a tad awkward, as Instagram's square capture window isn't really able to take advantage of the larger screen real-estate. Also, curiously, the live filtration options seem to be gone on iOS 6. We're not sure if that's a bug or what.

Instagram was purchased by Facebook earlier this year, and the Facebook iOS app was one of the first major apps to add support for the 4" screen.

Instagram is a free download on the App Store. [Direct Link]

this adds nothing. I know it's early, but I'd love to see devs take fuller advantage of the extra .5 inch of space.

Ugh. If only I could actually update the app! It shows I have a pending update, but when I open the AppStore and go to my updates, it does show me the Instagram update, but the button just says "open" and not "update".

This new AppStore is not my favorite. At all.

It's a bug as they appeared after I went in to edit an existing pic and exited out to camera

Update: Who cares =D

Damn I want live filter.

It's still working for me, iPhone 4 ios6.

Yes! I've been waiting for this. It makes scrolling through the timeline much nicer.

It's the main use - look at my crappy photo I made worse with some bad filter. Not sure what twitter has to do with it, I never said anything about twitter.

i know you didn't, but i was making an analogy.

people hate on twitter because they don't understand why it's around.
