The social birdie has just dropped in with a new update- a new app \u201cLayout\u201d by Instagram to feed all your photo collage needs. However only for iPhone users, Instagram\u2019s second spin-off app Layout, after its time-lapse video sharing app Hyperlapse launched last year in August, is soon to launch its Android version in the coming month.
\nInstagram\u2019s Layout app allows you to add as much as 9 photos in a single frame, the grid options of which are many. The user can either select the respective images from his\/her gallery or take a new series of shots to use, manually resized or swapped.Will this tweak social media marketing<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Instagram Layout 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

Just a photo collage app? What\u2019s the big deal?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s the exact thought in our mind. When the photo-sharing market is literally splurged with third-party photo editing and collage apps, like PhotoGrid, PicCollage, Picframes, Framatic and LiPix, it was nothing but wise for Instagram to feed their needs by launching its own app.
\n\u201cFrom imagining mirrored landscapes to sharing multiple moments from an entire adventure, we\u2019ve seen these kinds of visual storytelling happening on Instagram and we\u2019re inspired by it,\u201d shares the makers on the Instagram\u2019s official blog post<\/a> while announcing the app.
\nOne particular thing which strikes our attention is even the non-instagram users can use the app. Quite an apparent move by the makers to take back all the control from other similar third-party apps, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong>
\nYou don\u2019t need to sign-in to use this app.
\nUse as many as 9 photos and start tweaking with loads of filters, allowing pinch-zoom, vertically and horizontally.
\nA Photo Booth option also let you play good in the selfie-game and create an artful collage.
\nMultiple-platform sharing options which does not includes Twitter for the reason of some awkward rivalry<\/a> between the two apps. <\/p>\n

Twist in the whole story<\/strong>
\nIf sources are to be believed, there already exists an app for Apple users with similar name- Layout, created by an Independent Developer Mike Swanson, who runs the development company called as Juicy Bits. Not only it carries the similar name but it is also used for the same function i.e. the collage making process. And he doesn\u2019t seem to be happy from this recent development by Instagram. He wrote in his blog post<\/a>, \u201cIs it just me, or does it seem insincere for Instagram to release a similar app with the exact same name only differentiated by the inclusion of their company name?,\u201d he wrote in a blog post. \u201cDo you think they\u2019d be OK with me releasing an app called \u2018Instagram from Juicy Bits?\u2019 Neither do I.\u201d
\nWe just hope it will get introduced on the Android platform soon. Till then, happy collage-making all you iPhone holders.
