Just a few days after Facebook-owned Instagram removed the Twitter photo integration from the photo sharing service, the micro blogging website Twitter has struck back and launched it’s own filters for its Android and iOS Apps.
Rumors were doing the rounds since last month about Twitter readying its own photo filters for it’s iOS and Android Apps and yesterday, in an official announcement, Twitter said that it has rolled out updates for its mobile App on iOS and Android that will add new features and let the users enhance their captured images via the in-app image filters, before uploading them on twitter.
The new update adds 8 new filters in the App- Vignette, Black and White, Warm, Cool, Vintage , Cinematic, Happy and Gritty. Along with these new filters, the App update also brings some new editing features like Auto enhance to balance light and colors, pinch too zoom and Cropping.
Also, there is a birds-eye view element which will enable to users to see how each filter acts on a given image in a single grid view. Plus, you can also swipe photos to compare how each filter acts on the given image.
Earlier this week, Instagram had disabled the Twitter cards integration which enabled the users to view Instagram images on Twitter and as a result, the photos taken via Instagram appeared to be cropped on the Twitter timeline of users. Confirming the same, the CEO of Instagram said that the move was a step by the company to make the users view photos on Instagram’s own website instead of Twitter.
