Those who have the updated iOS Facebook app will now be able to edit their photos in an Instagram styled manner on their phones.
The updated app allows users to edit photos that they have taken by tapping a wand icon at the bottom of their screen. Once the photo has been selected, the wand icon reveals 13 different filters, similar to that of Instagram.
The filters have names such as cool, contrast, neon, coffee, and black and white. Users can upload the picture straight to Facebook from the app.
Shortly after Facebook had bought Instagram in April, the social media giants introduced a Facebook Camera app. This app was almost identical to Instagram in terms of the filters available.
Although filters aren’t new for those accustomed to Facebook Camera, this is the first time that they have been united through the Facebook app.
With Instagram soon to have an online presence and Facebook having the ability to edit photos, it seems that although linked, both are looking to expand by using each other as a model of success.
