Instagram for Android adds Nexus 7 support, Flickr sharing

It was once believed that Instagram for Android wouldn’t be avialable for the Nexus 7 due to absence of a rear camera on the device. After all, what good is a photo app on a device that doesn’t have a main camera? Fortunately, the folks at Instagram realized that a front-facing camera was still a camera, and that the device should be supported for those who are into self-portraits. Instagram also has the ability to share photos to Flickr, functionality I’m sure many people won’t mind having. Get on over to the Google Play Store and grab the 13MB download.

    13 Megabytes is better than the 28 it used to be

      I doubt we’ll ever see it since Facebook bought Instagram.

      I just checked this morning and its still not open to the public (Google+ API). When it is..I will update the Phandroid News app to include it.

      …btw, update tonight will not include it just to prevent confusion.

      They may have stopped support on your OS version. I think you can view what SDK’s each update supports on the play store.

    Says my phones not supported as well (HTC Glacier). Been sideloading each apk update without issue.

    Paypal here has the same issue. I was invited to join, found my phone is “incompatible” (sic, google play store). The Devs were easy to contact to spew BS while I offered to beta test for them. Sideloaded the apk from a friend, which activated the shipping of the device, it works perfectly.

    This is a problem.
