Kids. They grow up so fast. It seems like just yesterday that my Android phone finally became a member of the Instagram generation, only just “slightly” behind all of those iPhones out there. Now the social photo sharing service is celebrating its one year anniversary on the Google-based mobile operating system.<\/p>\n
Philip McAllister, of the Instagram Android team, announces<\/a> that “One year ago today we\u00a0launched\u00a0Instagram for Android. In less than a day, over a million people downloaded the app, and now nearly half of all Instagrammers use the Android app to share photos with friends, family and the world”.<\/p>\n Since then the service has been used around the world to capture images ranging from spectacular photography to natural disasters and epic world events. McAllister explains that “Major events such as\u00a0Brazil\u2019s C\u00edrio de Nazar\u00e9 festival,\u00a0the 85th birthday of Thailand\u2019s King Bhumibol, and\u00a0a streak of severe thunderstorms\u00a0throughout Malaysia have been captured by Android Instagrammers”.<\/p>\n While I use the app less often than I should, it has been handy for capturing and sharing many pictures in the time I have had it, including one image that I even used right here on BetaNews<\/a> last holiday season when the service saw a record 226 images uploaded per second on Thanksgiving day. With the financial backing of Facebook now behind it, there is no telling how far Instagram can go.<\/p>\n Kids. They grow up so fast.
