Besides, you can also share your photos to the Instagram Web Tools.
Some features that have been missing in Instagram for Android are the lacks of image editing feature namely "tilt shiftâ€. This feature has a very useful functionality for user since it will enable user to focus on one area of the photo while distorting the rest of the photograph or image.
