Without doubt one of the most popular applications that is currently available on smartphone handsets such as the iPhone 5 is Instagram and just last week a new update for this service was released that enables users to upload video content. Before this update users were only able to upload still images. The inclusion of the new video facility has proven to be a big success judging by the new figures that have been released.
Instagram is a photo sharing application that has become very popular as as users can not only upload images that will be shared with their friends, but they can also filters and effects to their photos. The biggest social networking site in the World, Facebook owns Instagram and they have just announced that following the new update a huge 5 million videos were uploaded after just 24 hours. The user is able to upload video content of up to 15 seconds in length. Following the update a huge 40 hours of video was uploaded per minute on devices such as the iPhone 5.
A rival social networking site also has such a video sharing service and the new Instagram video facility that has been launched is a direct response to it. Twitter launched their own service recently in the form of Vine which also proved to have success early on. Thanks to the 130 million registered users that have the Instagram application there is a very good chance that their own service will prove to be ultimately more successful. Even though the new feature on Instagram has proven to be popular there has been some criticism. There have been numerous complaints from consumers that say that the addition of the new video feature has slowed down the performance of the application, however this can be easily rectified by going to settings and turning off the autoplay option. Users can download the new Instagram update to their Android or iOS devices. Visit our website for a selection of the best iPhone 5 offers http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Apple/iPhone+5+16GB.html
