Instagram has released one of the largest upgrades to the Instagram iOS camera since it was revamped just over one year ago. There is also a new monochrome filter called Willow, for both iOS and Anroid devices.

Changes you will notice include:

  • Instagram-themed shutter & shutter release button.
  • A preview of the most recent photo on your camera roll.
  • Improved Camera Roll image selector (iPhone 5 only) for quick access to your last photograph.
  • Optional grid guide for live photos and a permanent grid guide for the scale & crop screen.
  • Improved tilt-shift and blur.
  • Foursquare button on location pages that opens the Foursquare application.

Instagram for iOS version 3.2 is currently available for download in Apple’s App Store, and Instagram for Android version 3.3 is now available on Google Play.
