Instagram Announces Layout, A Collage App Arriving On Android Sometime In The Coming Months

For mobile photographers, collage apps are second only to filters in their ability to take low-res images and make them look somewhat interesting. Rather that continue to cede this area to competing apps, Instagram has decided to create its own dedicated piece of software. It's called Layout.

Layout can pull photos from your gallery or instantly arrange images as you snap them. Then you drag, resize, flip, or rotate different parts of the collage by tapping, pinching, pulling, and twisting your fingertips against the screen. Naturally users will have the option to share their creativity on their Instagram feeds.

While the app is immediately available in the Apple App Store, but it won't show up for Android for several months. Launching on iOS first is just something the Instagram folks like to do, so for the time being, you will have to continue using one of the other bajillion collage apps offered in the Play Store.

Born and raised in the rural South, Bertel knows what it's like to live without 4G LTE - or 3G, for that matter. The only things he likes sweeter than his tea are his gadgets, and while few objects burn more than a metal phone on a summer day, he prefers them that way anyway.
