Instagramers can now upload slo-mo videos to the service, ensuring an uptick in adorable clips of pets and children his holiday season. In addition you'll no longer need to refresh an image to see new comments thanks to the new real-time comment system.
For Instagram addicts the biggest news with this update however has to be the introduction of five new filters to help set the mood of your photographs. You'll find the filters -- Slumber, Crema, Ludwig, Aden and Perpetua -- at the front of the filter menu the next time you open your updated app.
The system for adding filters as also been changed in this latest update. Here's what Instagram had to say about the new system on their blog.
To make it easier to choose between filters, we've updated how they're displayed. When you go to apply a filter to your photo, each filter icon on the bottom now displays a blurred preview of your photo with its effect applied. This lets you see at a glance how your photo will appear with each filter applied.
Finally, we know that everyone has their favorite filters. We want to keep things simple as we add more, so we've added a new "Manage" button at the end of your filter tray. Tap it to re-arrange the order of your filters and hide the ones you rarely use.
You can find this new update for free in the iTunes store. Go update and get to shooting.
