Without a lot of fanfare, Instagram updated both its Android and iOS apps on Thursday. The updates bring new video features to both apps and add photo straightening to the Android app -- something the iOS app had for months.
On Google Play and in Apple's App Store, Instagram only says the update gives "performance updates and other improvements." But, on Twitter the photo-sharing app gave a few more details.
Besides getting photo straightening, the Android app has also been updated with "new sound and data usage controls for Instagram videos." The same goes for the iOS app. While it's unclear what exactly Instagram has done with the update, it appears the company is looking to refine how users can record and edit videos.
Instagram announced last week that it will soon be inserting photo and video ads into the stream for its US members, which could cause a commotion among people who don't want to see brands intermixed with their puppy, baby, and selfie photos. But, with Facebook as its parent company, the photo-sharing app needs to chip in on the revenue front.
