Just after its proposed $1 billion acquisition of mobile photo sharing service Instagram, Facebook has announced Facebook Camera for iPhone this afternoon in a blog post. The app features filters just like Instagram and features the ability to upload a batch of photos at once, where as the regular Facebook app only allows you to upload one photo at a time. Upon first opening Camera, it detects any Facebook accounts already associated with the iPhone so you can begin uploading photos. Facebook Camera for iOS is now available on the iTunes App Store.
As you can tell from the screenshots of the app in the gallery below, it reminds us a lot of Instagram. There’s also the ability to view your friend’s photos in a single timeline. Complete with filters and quick sharing options, it’s almost like Facebook has launched a competitor to its own app.
Here’s the full breakdown of features:
- Post multiple photos from your camera roll at a time
- Crop and apply filters to give your photos a new look
- Scroll down a single feed of all your friends’ photos
- Tag your friends, add photo captions and say where you are
- See photos from the different apps your friends use
